Need some help with SDL and Dev-C++

(Yes, I'm a beginner)

"ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in assignment" pointing to this line:
cvt.buf = malloc(dlen*cvt.len_mult);

That's from one of the examples from SDL Introduction. (http://www.libsdl.org/intro/usingsound.html)
I wonder why it doesn't work.

When you use malloc you must must explicitly tell the compiler what data type the memory will be.

buf in the SDL_AudioCVT struct is defined as a Uint8*. So you'd do something like this.

cvt.buf = (Uint8 *) malloc( dlen * cvt.len_mult );

Give that a try.

Thank you.
Although I still can't hear any sound, I'm no longer stuck at that point.
