Having trouble getting SDL working

[Delicieuxz]

Hi. I'm trying to follow along with this SDL sidescroller tutorial:
SDL tutorial 20 - Sidescroller game (part 3) - example program 7 - YouTube

I'm using VS'10, and I've followed the directions here:
Lazy Foo' Productions

I've changed instances in the setup where applicable, such as SDL.lib and SDLmain.lib to SDL2.lib and SDL2main.lib, to correspond correctly to my downloaded SDL files.

The output I'm getting from the test project is:

1>------ Build started: Project: SDL_Tutorial, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>Build started 7/11/2013 3:31:44 PM.

You need to compile it as a windows program (not a console program).
And you need to add SDLmain and SDL (and possibly mingw32 or something) to the linker libraries.

I never could get SDL2.0 to work... Kept getting an "undefined reference to winmain@16" error when the linkage was all correct. Went back to SDL 1.2 and everything works fine. :P
