I'm guessing you forgot to include SDL.h in the file where you define main(), didn't define main() or declared main() to be something other than int main(int, char**). The arguments are important to get things to link.

I dont think the problem lies there. Here take a look at my main.cpp file:

#include <SDL/SDL.h>#include <iostream>using namespace std;int main(int argc, char argv[]){    if( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO) < 0)    {          cout <<"Could not initialize SDL: %S",SDL_GetError();          return 1;    }    atexit(SDL_Quit);                                       SDL_Surface* screen;    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF);    if(screen == NULL)    {          cout << "Could not set video mode: %S",SDL_GetError();          return 1;    }    }

But thanks for answering!
