Alright, I can''t figure this out. I''m trying to compile an SDL application in Dev-C++ and I keep getting this: "[Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain@16''" Why?! I''ve created it under a Win App, and a Console app, but still I get the error. I''m running Windows XP. I feel like I''m forgetting something . . . Any help appreciated. Thanks. -AfroFire

Did you set up the libraries and includes properly?

Go here for info on setting it up with Dev-C++ 4.01.

If you are using Dev-C++ 5 (4.9.x) go here and download the SDL package. It automatically sets everything up and gives you a nice template.

Enjoy.

Most times you create a Win32 application, your application entry point is WinMain, not main. Under MSVC, Console Applications have an entry point of main, but Dev-C++ may behave differentl. Consult your documentation both fr the appropriate application entry point as well as the parameter list and return type for WinMain.
