Hi, I tried posting this question on the SDL forum (
http://forums.libsdl.org/viewforum.php?f=1) but was told by the system that
only user with special rights are allowed to post there.
So, my question if if it’s possible to use SDL in a CLR windows forms app.
Or more generally, if it’s possible to use SDL without a main-function. My
main function in the CLR-app looks like this:
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
and this doesn’t match the SDL-main-replace macro. I’m developing a managed
windows forms app where I want to use certain SDL-features in a couple of
unmanaged classes. Mainly I want to use SDL_Image-functions, SDL_config and
SDL_net. The app will to networking and image proccessing on the unmanaged
side and use managed winforms to display a GUI.
Many thanks,
Lars Englund
You could modify SDL…
Unmodified, you’d need to do some refactoring. SDL starts the
execution at the int main(int argc, char* argv) located in a .cpp file
that includes SDL.
Using unmodified SDL though can be trickier. You’ll have to do some refactoring.
There is no problem getting the win32 stuff with vanilla SDL though.
If you do a little refactoring to have SDL creating the stuff and then
your existing systems just using it, there’s no problem with using

You could try not including the SDL_main library, then doing this
after including the SDL header:
#undef main
