SDL goes only with main and ignores the other .c and .h files i have in my program

Question

i'm trying to use SDL with my c project actualy it's a multi file project connected to each other so when i installed sdl i found a problem that sdl doesn't connect with other files it only connect with main and i find this error C:\Users\EYAOSM~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ccoI9IBj.o:main.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `lstcltcreer' with all the functions i have outside of main in the other files

i used this to connect sdl to main

C:\Users\Eya Osmane\Desktop\prooooojjjjj>gcc src/*main.c -o bin/prog -I include -L lib -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2

this is the structure of my program

src contains the main and the other files i wrote

and the other files bin include lib and obj are sdl files

and all these files are plased in projjjjj which is in my desktop

Your problem has nothing to do with SDL.

You just need to pass to GCC the list of .c file your project uses. This can be done with the wildcard (*) operator.

gcc src/*.c -o bin/prog -I include -L lib -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2

Or by explicitely including the files

gcc src/a.c src/b.c src/main.c -o bin/prog -I include -L lib -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2
