[SDL] SDL_PollEvent after SDL_SetVideoMode causes access violation

[Dinand Vanvelzen]

May i ask which compiler do you use ?
I tried the modified code you sent me but the problem remains.
I just created the .lib file from the dll because VC lib's are not
compatible.
so i offcourse have to add that to my project and link to it. I use the dll
because
when I try to build SDL it always gives me compiler errors. So the lib file
I
use is SDL.lib because the dll is named SDL.dll. I use implib.exe and
impdef.exe
to create the lib file. Sometimes the's libs don't work when created from a
VC dll
so i have another program to fix the function definitions in the .def if
that happens.
main declared with ( void ) is perfectly legal according to my uni
professor.
he could be wrong though :) and my compiler accepts it just fine.
I just updated my SDL_net to version 1.2.5, it was 1.2.4 but this had no
effect on the
problem.
If you do not have the problem on WIN32 with the same SDL_net and NET2
versions
then that would suggest one of two things imho. Either the compiler you use
does something different
or the CVS version of SDL has a fix for this problem. If you are using VC
then i suspect the first.
In case of the second i would need someone to compile a dll from the latest
CVS version for me
because like i said before it won't compile here.

Anyone else out there using Borland C++ Builder 6 ?
If so could you give the test program a try plz.

Tnx & GreeTz.
