SDL_image Out of Scope

Question

I'm trying to get off the ground with SDL. SDL by itself works fine, I got the basic Hello World setup to work. However, trying to use SDL_image has caused me a ton of headaches. My current code (below) gives me the error 'Img_Load' was not declared in this scope' at line 17.

• My linker settings in Code::Blocks look like this: "-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_image"
• Search directories are properly set up

• The required DLLs are in the folder with the EXE.

  include iostream
  include fstream
  include "SDL/SDL.h"
  include "SDL_image.h"
  
  using namespace std;
  const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 600;
  const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600;
  
  int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
      SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING);
  
      SDL_Surface* hello = NULL;
      SDL_Surface* screen = NULL;
  
      screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);
      hello = Img_Load("img\\hello world.png");
  
      if(!hello) //check that the load worked
          cout<<"error";
  
      SDL_BlitSurface(hello, NULL, screen, NULL); //draw image
      SDL_Flip(screen);
  
      SDL_Delay(2000);
  
      SDL_FreeSurface(hello); //closing down
      SDL_Quit();
  
  return 0;
  }
  

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

'IMG_Load' confirm case in your source file with the library reference when you reach errors like this.
