SDL Development
1

Hi all, sorry for the dumb question but …

trying to get some simple SDL programs to compile under win32 aswell as
linux, but having trouble with windows
(should i be surprised ??? :wink:

(I’m using dev c++)
how do i get rid of this :

C:\DEV-C_~1\Lib\libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x8e): undefined reference to
`WinMain at 16’

thanks

Looks like you’re not using:

int main ( int argc, char * argv [ ] )

as your “main” function. That, or you’re not linking to SDLmain.lib–

i have : -lsdl -lsdlmain

also, i am using “main”, code works perfect under linux,
i also tried some sdl examples off the net that claim to be cross platform
and they give the same result.
i think it’s a dev c++ problem :confused:

Hi!

I just joined this maillinglist ( so this in the archive.)
but i’ve had the extact same problems in Dev-C++

add this line :
-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows

in the “Project->Project Options-> Further Object Files or linker options”

that should do the trick if your compiling a Console App

and remeber to use a main() instead of that silly Winmain() function …
