Ok, I'm trying to set up a timer so that NPC sprites can move themselves after x amount of milliseconds. But for some reason, just trying to use the SDL_AddTimer() function is giving me linker errors. I'll post my initialization code, and the code relating to the timer, the rest would be useless:

SDL_TimerID etimer;

Uint32 etcall(Uint32 interval, void *param);

int sdlinit(){
	if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER) == -1){
		printf("For some reason, SDL could not initialize\n");
	}
	MainSurface = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,0,SDL_ANYFORMAT/*SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_DOUBLEBUF*/);
	SDL_WM_SetCaption("Psychotic Universe", "");
	etimer=SDL_AddTimer(1000,etcall,NULL);
	atexit(SDL_Quit);
	return 0;
}


the error is:
Linking...
C:\MinGWStudio\Projects\psu\Debug\main.o: In function `sdlinit':
C:\MinGWStudio\Projects\psu\main.c:21: undefined reference to `etcall'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

sdlinit() is called from main(). There *might* be some inconsistencies in this code snippit -- I also have a header file with some code in it, and some other functions as well -- but i think this code should be able to stand on it's own -- providing you add a main() function and call sdlinit() from within it. any idea what is causing this? if I change SDL_AddTimer to SDL_AddTimer(1000,etcall(),NULL); It errors due to not enough arguments to etcall, and SDL_AddTimer(1000,etcall(1000,NULL),NULL) also causes problems.
