When I try to compile :
gcc -o testwin.exe testwin.c -lSDL -lSDLmain
I get :
\egcs-mingw32\i386-pc-mingw32\lib\libmingw32.a(main.o)(.text+0x7d):
undefined reference to `WinMain at 16’
But if I compile a simple “hello world”, it link fine.
Any Ideas ?

Try to cross compile some of the demos that use “configure” and you’ll
see what you need to do, you are missing all of the required windows
libraries… like -lkernel32 -lgdi32, etc.–

Sounds like you haven’t run configure properly. To install SDL correctly, you
want to basically do this:
cd /usr/local/src
tar zxvf SDL-whatever.tar
cd SDL-whatever
ls
(if it’s a CVS version)./autogen.sh
(else)configure
make
make install
cd test
ls
./configure (I don’t remember if this one is also an autogen.sh for CVS)
make
there you go, that should do it. It sounds like you’re not configuring your
files properly. God, I hate autoconf.

That’s exactly that. I read everywhere to “configure”, but I run Win95, not
Linux, and configure is a Linux shell.
I don’t have /usr/local, ls etc but I do have make and tar.
I thought that programs written in SDL could be compiled either under Linux,
either under Win95. Isn’t that right ?
I have plenty of *.a in my lib directory, but if I “grep” WinMain, I only
get crt1.o,crt2.o,libSDLmain.a and libmingw32.a
Does Everybody here use Linux here ?

I would think so. :-)–

That’s right.
The correct magic is (I believe)
-lSDL -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -ldxguid -mwindows
If you have the Cygnus development environment, you can run configure
scripts on Win98. http://www.cygnus.com/
I haven’t set it up in a while, so I don’t know if it still works.

Nope. 
Quite a few people develop in Windows, and I’ve even been
surprised by MacOS and Be developers.
I’m booted into BeOS right now to implement OpenGL support.
See ya!

Yes, it is.
It’s no problem to compile under MS Visual C++ - just unzip the
VisualC.zip file and open the project. That’s what I’ve done.
If you don’t use Visual C++, I’m sorry I have no solution.

No, e.g. I use Win98.
