error compiling SDL program

[transkinetic]

I wrote a small bitmap editor in DevC++ using SDL today. It's my first program and I'm needless to say quite thrilled with it.

Trying to compile it on ubuntu with gcc produced the following error.

spacepopeye@yimmy:~/SDL/zombie$ gcc zombie3.cpp -o sdltest `sdl-config --cflags --libs`
/tmp/ccH6rpJv.o:(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have no idea how to use gcc. The parameters there are from some SDL tut. Is their a good indroduction to GCC somwhere?

zombie3.cpp, is it a c++ program? Then you should use g++ instead of gcc. If it's pure C, try to rename it to zombie.c and use gcc.

For an intro see An Introduction to GCC by Brian Gough. And 'man gcc' is also a good source if you need to look-up some flags.

Perfect, thanks.
