hi, i need some help with my dev c++ 4.9.9.2 compiler: when i compile my SDL code wich i have written from Cone3D programming tutorials. i get these errors: Permission Denied Id returned 1 exit status [Build Error] [SDL.exe] Error 1 and finally, here's my code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <SDL/SDL.h> #include <iostream> using namespace std; void DrawPixel(SDL_Surface* screen, int x, int y, Uint8 R, Uint8 G, Uint8 B) { Uint32 color = SDL_MapRGB(screen->format, R, G, B); switch(screen->format->BytesPerPixel) { case 1: { Uint8* bufp; bufp = (Uint8 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch + x; *bufp = color; } break; case 2: { Uint16* bufp; bufp = (Uint16 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch/2 + x; *bufp = color; } break; case 3: { Uint8* bufp; bufp = (Uint8 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch + x * 3; if(SDL_BYTEORDER == SDL_LIL_ENDIAN) { bufp[0] = color; bufp[1] = color >> 8; bufp[2] = color >> 16; }else{ bufp[2] = color; bufp[1] = color >> 8; bufp[0] = color >> 16; } }break; case 4: { Uint32* bufp; bufp = (Uint32 *)screen->pixels + y*screen->pitch/4 + x; *bufp = color; } break; } } void Slock(SDL_Surface* screen) { if(SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) ) { if(SDL_LockSurface(screen) < 0) { return; } } } void Sulock(SDL_Surface* screen) { if(SDL_MUSTLOCK(screen) ) { SDL_UnlockSurface(screen); } } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0) { cout << "Unable to init SDL: %s\n",SDL_GetError(); exit(1); } atexit(SDL_Quit); SDL_Surface* screen; screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32,SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_DOUBLEBUF); if(screen == NULL) { cout << "Unable to set graphics mode to 640x480: %s\n",SDL_GetError(); exit(1); } //drawing goes here return 0; }

thanks! the restart did it!
