Checking SDL Version | GameDev.net

Hey everybody! I'm fairly new to SDL programmering and couple of weeks ago I remember reading some function where they checked the compiled version of SDL against the version of SDL running on the local computer. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to be able to check if the system meets the SDL version requirements and print an error message if it's not the case. Thanks in advance, nto.

Finally found something useful:

void printVersion()
{
SDL_version compileVersion;
SDL_VERSION(&compileVersion);
printf("Compiled with SDL version: %d.%d.%d\n",
compileVersion.major,
compileVersion.minor,
compileVersion.patch);

#if !WIN32_VERSION
const SDL_version *linkedVersion(SDL_Linked_Version());
printf("Running with SDL version: %d.%d.%d\n",
linkedVersion->major,
linkedVersion->minor,
linkedVersion->patch);
#endif

}
