First, don''t free a surface that you got from SDL_SetVideoMode. It will automatically be freed by SDL_Quit. DO free the surface you got from SDL_LoadBMP.

As for the error you''re getting: SDL_MouseButtonEvent is a struct. Your code isn''t going to do what (I assume) you want to do.

Actually, I was just reading your code, and I''m really not sure WHAT you''re trying to do. Blit the surface to the screen once, then exit if the user clicks the mouse button or if the SDL_QUIT event is received?

Stro: It still dosnnt work
QuazarBron: It only takes it like that

See my added comments. As you may see, we might be able to help a lot more if you were to put into plain english what you are trying to do.

  while(true); // this will compile. this will loop infinitely due to the semicolon.  {// if you removed the semicolon above, this will blit and flip every cycle. you don''t change the image, though, so it''s not necessary.

But you should rethink this whole loop.  while( !( SDL_PollEvent(&event) && event.type == SDL_QUIT ) )  {}        }// There are no more events polled after you poll SDL_QUIT above.  At this point in the program, you are exiting no matter what. You need no if statement. Free the surface, then exit. //if(SDL_MouseButtonEvent(SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN,SDL_BUTTON_LEFT,200,300))//  {    SDL_FreeSurface(img)//  ;}      return 0;}
