Mingw native compiling

SDL Development
1

I’m trying to compile the testgl.c program included in sdl-development archive.
I always get this message:

c:\MINGW\BIN…\lib\gcc-lib\mingw32\2.95.2…/libmingw32.a(main.o)
(.text+0x8d):main.c: undefined reference to `WinMain at 16’
make: *** [testgl] Error 1

I believe I’ve set up mingw correctly. (at least some non-SDL programs compiled
fine)

When linking, did you use the -mwindows flag? If not, try it and it may
solve your problem.

You must link to libmingw32.a , too.

So try: -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows

Be sure to tell the compiler to link with libming32.a (compiler
option -lmingw32) before (!!!) you link with any other library
(-lSDL -lSDLmain) !
