[SDL] Q: Win32 link error _WinMainCRTStartup...

[Xavier Le Pasteur]

How did you create your project ?
Make sure it is a Win32 application.

Personnaly, I create a C++ source without project
and try to compile it, letting VC create a default project.
Then, I modify this project to add libs etc...

The advantage in this method, is that your program
will open 2 windows:
- Your SDL window with all your graphic stuff
- A console window with stdin,stdout,stderr...
Very convenient for debugging...
