Hi,
I started a project using SDL, but unfortunately I couldn?t get it to
link with MSVC .NET 2005
I linked againsat both SDL.lib and SDLMain.lib but I get a linker error
that the “entry point has to be specified”.
So it means it can?t find an entry point, but I do have a main method.
The project compiles fine until I include the SDL headers.
Could somebody tell me where the error is? Thanks in advance 
regards
Michael Stather

You have used the wrong project type. You should use “Win32
Application” (which expects a WinMain() provided by SDLmain.lib), not
"Win32 Console Application".–

Thanks, that worked
Now I get a warning that msvcrtd.lib conflicts with other libraries and
I should use /nodefault, do you know why this happens?

It happens because MSVC 2005 uses a different runtime library to what
SDLmain.lib is compiled for.
You can get around this in one of two ways:

- recompile SDL in MSVC 2005 so you get a compatible SDLmain.lib
- Add src/main/win32/SDL_win32_main.c to your project.
I also use MSVC 2005 and I’ve never had to recompile SDL, or add
src/main/etc. to any of my projects to avoid this error/warning. I
occasionally get such an error if I try to include certain other libraries
(e.g. boost, or zziplib come to mind). Check on which other .lib’s you are
linking with.
(and check that you are compiling as “Multi-Threaded debug dll” in C/C++
compiler options.)

The problem here is that I?m not including other libraries at all.
I?m also using the “multithreaded debug dll” setting .
