Thread: SDL on visual studio errors! i need help!

hey guys, i have been trying to get SDL to work so i can make a game but i cant for the life of me get it to work! i am on visual studio 2012 and i have done everything they say to do on lazyfoo.net on how to install SDL, here is my code:

main.cpp:

Code:

#include"SDL.h"intmain( intargc, char* args[] ){    //Start SDL    SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );        //Quit SDL    SDL_Quit();        return 0;    }

source:

Code:

#include"SDL.h"constint WINDOW_WIDTH = 640;constint WINDOW_HEIGHT = 480;constchar* WINDOW_TITLE = "SDL Start"; intmain(intargc, char **argv){   SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO );    SDL_Surface* screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT, 0,       SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF );   SDL_WM_SetCaption( WINDOW_TITLE, 0 );    SDL_Surface* bitmap = SDL_LoadBMP("\resources\sprites\MONO\spr_MONO.bmp");    // Part of the bitmap that we want to drawSDL_Rect source;   source.x = 24;   source.y = 63;   source.w = 65;   source.h = 44;    // Part of the screen we want to draw the sprite toSDL_Rect destination;   destination.x = 100;   destination.y = 100;   destination.w = 65;   destination.h = 44;    SDL_Event event;   bool gameRunning = true;    while (gameRunning)   {      if (SDL_PollEvent(&event))      {          if (event.type == SDL_QUIT)         {            gameRunning = false;         }      }       SDL_BlitSurface(bitmap, &source, screen, &destination);       SDL_Flip(screen);   }    SDL_FreeSurface(bitmap);    SDL_Quit();    return 0;}

and this is what i am getting when i run it:

i have the SDL.dll, SDL.lib, and the SDLmain.lib in \MONO\Debug and here is what i did in the properties: than in linker -> additional dependence i have "SDLmain.lib"if you can help me that would be great! thank you so much!

I don't code on windooze but I found the following link helpful. Lazy Foo' Productions
