Windows port question

SDL Development
1

I’m making a game using SDL. Using Linux, it all works perfectly fine - no
problems. But when I try to compile under windows ( using VC6 and the VC6
dev-version of SDL ) the compilation succeeds, no warnings/errors, but when
I start the game, nothing happens. Not even a single bit of output.

Could someone please help me using this problem? It would be really nice…
For the source files see http://communities.msn.nl/cppworld and click “Sagai
Inceptum RTS”.

I tried to get to the source and was asked to enter a password. I clicked
cancel and it took me to a page I couldn’t read (don’t speak the language,
sorry). However, have you tried compiling on MinGW/Cygnus? It may work
better there.

The site requires an MSN passport login, which is what he’s speaking of,
you of course most likely had no problem getting in as you have a MSN
passport :)On Mon, Apr 22, 2002 at 05:48:10PM +0100, Pedro Remedios wrote:

I use VC6 for everything according to c++ ( under windows ), so I think I
stay with that

I flatly refuse to have a .net username OR passport OR hotmail. I’m not
the only one. Just a reminder for anyone here using it.On Sun, Apr 21, 2002 at 11:55:18PM +0200, Sijmen Mulder wrote:
