Thread Rules
1. This is not a "do my homework for me" thread. If you have specific questions, ask, but don't post an assignment or homework problem and expect an exact solution.
2. No recruiting for your cockamamie projects (you won't replace facebook with 3 dudes you found on the internet and $20)
3. If you can't articulate why a language is bad, don't start slinging shit about it. Just remember that nothing is worse than making CSS IE6 compatible.
4. Use [code] tags to format code blocks.

im doing this sdl tutorial in C about displaying a img on a window but the compiler is mean to meT_T

does anybody know how I can compile with sdl_image libary? I can't find anything that works

The compiler has a list of directories it looks at for header files that you use like this in your source code:

#include <bla.h>

You can add a directory to the compiler's list through -I. That -ISDL_image means you tell it to search in a sub-directory "SDL_image" from where you are currently.

If you use this in your source code:

#include "bla.h"

That will search for bla.h in the same directory as where your source is.

I just tried that pkg-config you use on my machine here and it looks like this:

$ pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2
-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL2 -lSDL2 -lpthread

That seems to list everything that should be needed for me. What's happening for you? How does the output look like?

EDIT: But I just found out, if you're after SDL_image.h, that one is in another directory as it's SDL and not SDL2, so the options for it get found through:

$ pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl
-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL -lSDL -lpthread

I see there's also another sdl2_image package on my Linux distro, not just sdl_image. Both have a SDL_image.h file in them. Perhaps you installed the wrong package?

I found the error.

I had libsdl1.2-image-dev and libsdl2-image but not libsdl2-image-dev

that took me 2 hoursT_T

does your code work? what's with the ptr1 >= size1, that will never happen

Don't call stuff "ptr". What's that? "pointer", "peter", "pastor", "petrol"? Give your variables proper names. It's not even a pointer to begin with.
Don't do stuff like arr[size1+ptr2++]. What's even worse: temp[ptr1+ptr2] = arr[size1+ptr2++]. What's evaluated first, the left side array index or the right side postfix increment? Sure, it's properly defined, but that doesn't make it a good idea to write stuff like that.

I'd assume you'd be less confused if you didn't try to be so fancy.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

reformatted your code to how i would write it (kinda)

really just need to clean up the code and it should be a lot easier to read through

+ Show Spoiler +

void merge(int* outArray, int aSize, int bSize) 
{
int outArraySize = aSize + bSize;
int tempArray[outArraySize];
int aIndex = 0;
int bIndex = 0;

while (aIndex + bIndex < outArraySize)
{
if (aIndex < aSize)
{
if ((outArray[aIndex] <= outArray[aSize+bIndex]) || (bIndex == bSize))
{
tempArray[aIndex + bIndex] = outArray[aIndex];
aIndex += 1;
}
}

if (bIndex < bSize)
{
if ((outArray[aIndex] > outArray[aSize + bIndex]) || (aIndex == aSize))
{
tempArray[aIndex + bIndex] = outArray[aSize + bIndex];
bIndex += 1;
}
}
}

for (int i = 0; i < outArraySize; ++i)
{
outArray[i] = tempArray[i];
}
}

void mergeSort(int* array, int size)
{
if (size == 1)
{
return;
}

int size1 = size/2;
int size2 = (size/2) + 1;
mergeSort(array, size1);
mergeSort(array+size1, size2);
merge(array, size1, size2);
}

ye that is a really good idea.

the code I posted was a tutorial i got somewhere because I got to frustated after my own code not working after like 10 times lol.

the part that confuses me about that program is when the merge is called. this is how i under stand it

you give mergsort an array, -> it splits it and calls its self to infinty till there are only 2 in the array left - > starts merging.
but wont it will just a unsorted array for each time it called itself, and when it is sorted it has only 2 numbers to merge.

i'd prefer ptr (pronouned: ptr) to pointer if you are writing c++, it conforms to the standard and is terser.
std::unique_ptr, std::shared_ptr, std::weak_ptr, etc...

your other point is good and is worth a peep. this point is valid only as it pertains to evaluation order, and not precedence, or expressions in general. i avoid it myself, i am not familiar enough to resolve ambiguities for now.

@ropid
i get that partiucal kind of programming pleasure from only using
#include<...>, so i always do -I./ in my projects.

You could think of it as some sort of math.

Look at this:

sort FHDCEAGB
= merge (sort FHDC) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge (sort FH) (sort DC)) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge (merge (sort F) (sort H)) (sort DC)) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge (merge F H) (sort DC)) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge FH (sort DC)) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge FH (merge (sort D) (sort C))) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge FH (merge D C)) (sort EAGB)
= merge (merge FH CD) (sort EAGB)
= merge CDFH (sort EAGB)
= merge CDFH (merge (sort EA) (sort GB))
= merge CDFH (merge (merge (sort E) (sort A)) (sort GB))
= merge CDFH (merge (merge E A) (sort GB))
= merge CDFH (merge AE (sort GB))
= merge CDFH (merge AE (merge (sort G) (sort B)))
= merge CDFH (merge AE (merge G B))
= merge CDFH (merge AE BG)
= merge CDFH ABEG
= ABCDEFGH

I regret starting with 8 elements and not just 4. T_T

An alternative is thinking about it visually as some sort of tree graph that gets built up by the sort function and collapsed by the merge function. You could draw that on paper or something.

You could also think about what's happening on the stack. That's what helped me with recursion. The local variables of functions are living inside layers on the stack. Each function call adds a new layer on top, returning from a function deletes that layer. Parameters are the same as variables (and you can btw. even use them and overwrite them in C).
