Linking Error

when you make a win32 application then the function WinMain() must be defined by you. This error indicates that you did not not do that.

Make sure you use the int main with the correct parameters as specified in the SDL docs. And be sure to include "sdl.h" in the file that contains your int main.

Im not defining winmain, since im using sdl. I am using th main function just like it tells me to in the sdl docs and i am including sdl.h
Is there anything else you know of that might be causing this problem?

If you''re using VC++, you need to change the linker switch from /subsystem:windows to /subsystem:console

ok, i just tried that and it changed the error to:

MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

BTW, i assume that is the same as making a ''win32 console app'' as opposed to ''win32 app''. since im using opengl, am i really supposed to do that?

i solved my problem. The problem was i only added sdl.lib and forgot to add sdlmain.lib
