SDL and MinGW Studio

Vicious · 07-30-2004, 09:59 PM

I downloaded the SDL development kit for MinGW. When I tried to make the simple "test" program that initializes SDL, It won't work.

I have linked SDLmain and SDL libraries and it saya it cant find them, also I get the WinMain@16 refrence that seems to be a problem among many.

My question; does SDL have problems with MinGW Studio or is there some sort of installation steps the I need to follow. Ive googled it searched it and came out empty handed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT:
Found my problem. I am not used to the MinGW Studio and I had to link these libraries in this way

Code:

mingw32, SDLmain, SDL

those commas really threw me off.
