Sorry for bumping up an old thread, but when i compile the code

#include "SDL.h"int main(int argc, char *argv[]){    if ( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 ) {        fprintf(stderr, "Unable to init SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError());        exit(1);    }    atexit(SDL_Quit);	{ SDL_Surface *screen;	   screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 16, SDL_SWSURFACE);	   if ( screen == NULL ) {	      fprintf(stderr, "Unable to set 640x480 video: %s\n", SDL_GetError());	      exit(1);	  }	}return 0;}

It wont work, I get the errors

--------------------Configuration: SDL_test - Win32 Debug--------------------

SDL_test.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)


And when I comment away all the code betwen main{ and } it gives me the errors

What hav I done wrong?

Thank you.

Quote:error C2065: 'exit' : undeclared identifier

#include <stdlib.h>

The rest of the errors are because you haven't linked SDL to your project.

Thank you! That helped some.. But.. What about "Cant execute Link.exe"?

You need to link to the SDL library. What compiler are you using?

I am linking to the SDLmain.lib as said in the FAQ. (Still error.)

Link to SDL.lib too. Also, make sure (if you are using MSVC) to go to Properties->C/C++->Code Generation and make sure Multi-threaded DLL is selected

Ok, thatnk you. What should i link to in Dev-cpp?
