No matter how many arguments I pass to the g++ compiler I just cant seem to make Freetype2 get linked. g++ -Wall -O3 `sdl-config --cflags` -c glBuilder.cpp; g++ -o glBuilder glBuilder.o -lSGE -freetype `sdl-config --libs` -lstdc++ Still get the same ol' 'undefined reference to blabla' error when compiling. Lets image for a while that I am right and thats the sweetest piece of compiling arguments that you could wish for, maybe theres something deeper? Using SDL and SGE to graw graphics and texts to the screen (with Freetype 2.1.0) I get the happy lil' error message from my compiler: glBuilder.cpp:(.text+0x1088): undefined reference to `sge_TTF_CloseFont' Sounds to me the issue is between SGE and Freetype. Being new to Linux I dont know what I can do really... Using Suse 10.1 if thats of any revelance...

I would check if the symbol exist in the library that you are trying to use (SGE).
For example, nm and objdump can do that.
nm -D /path/to/libSGE.so
or
objdump -T /path/to/libSGE.so

And you can of course pipe the output to grep to see only the stuff you are interested in, for example:
objdump -T /path/to/libSGE.so | grep sge_TTF_CloseFont

Sounds to me like you're missing the SDL TTF development libraries from you system. They're usually a separate package. They may or may not be picked up by the sdl-config tool.
