Scratch

Well, I am making a game in c++. I can use OpenGL and everything. I have a base of code that I am preparing to port (from Java). In other words, I am ready to start coding my game. Still, one problem has stopped me. I can't seem to get a library for displaying text to work. In Java, I was able to use Slick-Utils, the same as my image loader. The problem is that I either am getting syntax errors, linker errors, or just can't find out what to do. If you know one, please tell me or else I'll have to go back to Java.
