Edited by albatros on Reason: Initial post
Hello there, I'm trying out FPL on linux.

My main.c contains the basic example for window + opengl from the FPL file :

int main(int argc, char **args){
        fplSettings settings;
        fplSetDefaultSettings(&settings);
        fplVideoSettings videoSettings = settings.video;

                return 0;
        } else {
                return -1;
        }
}


This is the command I use to compile :
1
gcc main.c -ldl && ./a.out


Theses are the errors I get.

I've got to admit, I have no clue on how to get past this. Any idea ?

fpl_common_api bool fplPollEvent(fplEvent *ev) {

means that the function wants a pointer but you passed a struct: fix by doing fplPollEvent(&ev) instead

fplVideoSettings doesn't have a member opengl, it does have a member graphics that has a opengl member: fix by replacing videoSettings.opengl with videoSettings.graphics.opengl

I am finalspace and do programming since more than 25 years, started on C64 and got serious with borland delphi. Nowadays i use C/C++ only.

I did a few api changes in the recent releases, so the documentation may be a little off.
The doxygen code sections will never get validated, so you never know if there is something wrong in the code snippets there :-(

So i will correct this in the next release.

But great that you got the problem solved ;)
