having problems with SDL.
following the tutorials on sdltutorials.com and not doing well
can't even compile. I'm using Code::Blocks with VC2008 as compiler
have included sdl/sdlmain.lib under link libs and everything like that
I'm using the VC edition of the dev libs, what is preventing my code from compiling? Looks like the linker can't find main().

I get this output:

and why all these warnings?

the last one is the one that is really annoying and stops the program from building

there's stackoverflow for that

no entry point? huh? and you can't fix it? you know /entry:main would do but...

what g. said

Is at least WIN32 defined?
Is your entry point "int main(int argc, char* argv[])"?
Is the file that contains it actually compiled?
Subsystem Console under linker settings?
Have you included SDL.lib and SDLmain.lib?

solving strange compiler errors is so rewarding (once you make it) - good luck

What I usually do is put an #undef main in the beginning of my code, I am not exactly sure why it's needed. Some people told me I should not do it this way but include SDLmain instead but this still didn't work for me. #undef main works though but I am doing it blindly. Can one explain what's going on?

This is probably that skanky SDLMain-thingie's fault.

SDL is trying to wrap your portable, C-standard "int main(argc, argv)" into some windows-ish "Winmain" method so the compiler will find it. However, sometimes the compiler is actually looking for the standard main method. So if that works...
