Hi guys !

Well as usual i’ve tried new version of SDL under Linux and Windows. Under  
Linux it works great but under Windows I get a Kernel32.DLL error ! 😉  
I just try to compile under VC++5.0 a simple program (initialisation of SDL  
!), it is compiling fine but when i run the exe i get that stupid and  
misunderstanding error !

So is anyone get the same probs ?

I should say that 1.1.3 works really fine !

Bye all

Can you send me a very simple example that shows the problem?

Also try the unsupported DLL at:  
[http://www.libsdl.org/cvs/SDL.dll](http://www.libsdl.org/cvs/SDL.dll)

See ya!

No probs but i mean the very simple example is really simple !!!

Here it is : (under VC++ 5.0 with Settings well defined)  
I’ve tried several video modes ! all crash  
If you want i could send you the VC++ project but i think it won’t help you  
!

#include \<stdlib.h\>  
#include \<stdio.h\>  
#include \<SDL/SDL.h\>

int main(int argc, char \*argv){

SDL\_Surface \*screen;

if(SDL\_Init(SDL\_INIT\_VIDEO) \<0){  
fprintf(stderr,“Erreur d’initialisation vid?o de SDL  
%s\n”,SDL\_GetError());  
exit(1);  
}

atexit(SDL\_Quit);

if((screen = SDL\_SetVideoMode(320,200,8,SDL\_SWSURFACE)) == NULL){  
fprintf(stderr,“Impossible d’allouer une surface SDL %s\n”,  
SDL\_GetError());  
exit(1);  
}  
return 0;  
}

Bye

Well sorry Sam… but i can’t understand that ! I have some others SDL VC++  
projects on my computer. I’ve used one for testing that and it works fine !  
I can’t understand that !

So forget it and sorry to upset you !
