# Introduction to SDL_ttf with Visual Studio
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to use SDL_ttf is to include it along with SDL as subprojects in your project.
|
|
|
|
First, make sure you have downloaded the external dependencies. You can do that by running `Get-GitModules.ps1` in the external directory.
|
|
|
|
We'll start by creating a simple project to build and run [hello.c](hello.c)
|
|
|
|
- Create a new project in Visual Studio, using the C++ Empty Project template
|
|
- Add hello.c to the Source Files
|
|
- Right click the solution, select add an existing project, navigate to the SDL VisualC/SDL directory and add SDL.vcxproj
|
|
- Right click the solution, select add an existing project, navigate to the SDL_ttf VisualC directory and add SDL_ttf.vcxproj
|
|
- Select your main project and go to Project -> Add Reference and select SDL3 and SDL3_ttf
|
|
- Select your main project and go to Project -> Properties, set the filter at the top to "All Configurations" and "All Platforms", select VC++ Directories and add the SDL and SDL_ttf include directories to "Include Directories"
|
|
- Build and run!
