SDL_MapRGB Name SDL_MapRGB -- Map a RGB color value to a pixel format. Synopsis #include "SDL.h" Uint32 SDL_MapRGB(SDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint8 r, Uint8 g, Uint8 b); Description Maps the RGB color value to the specified pixel format and returns the pixel value as a 32-bit int. If the format has a palette (8-bit) the index of the closest matching color in the palette will be returned. If the specified pixel format has an alpha component it will be returned as all 1 bits (fully opaque). Return Value A pixel value best approximating the given RGB color value for a given pixel format. If the pixel format bpp (color depth) is less than 32-bpp then the unused upper bits of the return value can safely be ignored (e.g., with a 16-bpp format the return value can be assigned to a Uint16, and similarly a Uint8 for an 8-bpp format).

SDL_Color Name SDL_Color -- Format independent color description Structure Definition typedef struct{ Uint8 r; Uint8 g; Uint8 b; Uint8 unused; } SDL_Color; Structure Data r Red intensity g Green intensity b Blue intensity unused Unused Description SDL_Color describes a color in a format independent way. You can convert a SDL_Color to a pixel value for a certain pixel format using SDL_MapRGB.

SDL_Color translate_color(Uint32 int_color)                                 //Change from an "int color" to an SDL_Color{    #if SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_BIG_ENDIAN        SDL_Color color={(int_color & 0x00ff0000)/0x10000,(int_color &0x0000ff00)/0x100,(int_color & 0x000000ff),0};    #else        SDL_Color color={(int_color & 0x000000ff),(int_color &0x0000ff00)/0x100,(int_color & 0x00ff0000)/0x10000,0};        #endif    return color;}

Uint32 tmp = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, 255, 255, 255);SDL_Color white = translate_color(tmp);SDL_Surface *texttest = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font,"Hello World!", white);

Original post by Kylotan SDL_MapRGB is the wrong function. (Uint32 SDL_MapRGB(SDL_PixelFormat *fmt, Uint8 r, Uint8 g, Uint8 b)) You want this: typedef struct{ Uint8 r; Uint8 g; Uint8 b; Uint8 unused; } SDL_Color; Just declare one and set the 3 values accordingly.

Original post by Yamian Thx all, but I have another problem, how can I convert my integers to one c-style string for the rendering of the text. I'm using VC7 and I found ToChar and ToString but It giving me 'ToChar/String': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent lookup. How can I use these to help me?
