My code doesn't display anything. All I get is a window with no image.

 return success;


void close()
 SDL_FreeSurface( gHelloWorld );

 SDL_DestroyWindow( gWindow );
 gWindow=NULL;

 SDL_Quit();


int main(int argc, char* args[]){
 if(!init())
 printf( "failed to initialize!n" );
 
 else 
 if( !loadMedia() ) 
 printf ("failed to laod media! n");
 
 else 
 SDL_BlitSurface( gHelloWorld, NULL, SDL_GetWindowSurface(gWindow), NULL );
 SDL_UpdateWindowSurface ( gWindow );
 SDL_Delay (2000);
 
 
 close();

I expect it to show me a bmp image which is in the path specified here in the loadBMP() function but all I get is an empty transparent window.

I am using KDE Konsole, if that has to do something with this.

  Do you get your "Unable to load image %s! SDL Error: %sn" error message on console?

  Have you tried a different .bmp file? Your code worked fine for me after I installed sdl2 and compiled with clang++ main.cpp `sdl2-config --libs`. Also, I'm assuming your image is in the same directory as your executable?

  You should have proper update loop and redraw when window manager asks you to (or just redraw unconditionally). Draw&delay is not a way to display things.

  @MiguelÁngelRetamozoSanchez: I think that's only an issue with C compilers or if you declare close() as extern "C" so that C++ doesn't name-mangle it into the default file- or translation-unit-local anonymous namespace.

KDE eh? Plasma composites by default; try disabling compositing or add a proper event-handling loop so your process has a chance to handle repaint events.
