Hey all,
I'm relatively new to C++ and VS 2013, so bear with me. A majority of my experience in programming has been in Java.
My end goal here is to make a very rough Missile Command clone just to get a feel for how things work in C++ and SDL.
I've been following along with this tutorial to get things set up, since I know nothing about how C++ compilers function and so on (I'm working on learning it).
The problem is, I'm having some difficulties with the linker. Copied below is the error output when I go to build.
1>------ Build started: Project: MissileCommand, Configuration: Debug x64 ------
1>MissileCommand.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol SDL_GetError referenced in function SDL_main
1>MissileCommand.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol SDL_Init referenced in function SDL_main
1>MissileCommand.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol SDL_Quit referenced in function SDL_main
1>MSVCRTD.lib(crtexe.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol main referenced in function __tmainCRTStartup
1>F:\GameDev\MissileCommand\x64\Debug\MissileCommand.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========And here is the little test code (provided in the tutorial link) that I used:
#include <iostream>
#include <SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) != 0){
std::cout << "SDL_Init Error: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
return 1;
}
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
I'm guessing I missed something in the tutorial, but I'm not quite sure what. I'll continuing tinkering and post back if I find the solution.
Thanks,
Morley
