Did anybody have a problem getting to tutorial 1 to link properly(for visual c++). I swear I did everything exactly the way he said, and everytime I got: sdlmain.lib(SDL_main.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _SDL_main Debug/SDLProject.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals more importantly, does anybody know what I did wrong. Thanks, dave

You must link two libraries to your project : sdl.lib (you seem to have linked this one, otherwise you would have much more errors) and sdlmain.lib (don''t remember if it''s the correct name but it''s something like this).

Do you have main like:
int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) ??

That is a FAQ.
