[SDL] SDL_net dev cpp linker problem

[Chris Rajula]

Oh, I had just forgotten to download the SDL_net devel package.
I did just that, and installed it.

It seems to work now, except for a small problem, but I don't think it's SDL
related.
I now get the following   [Linker error] undefined reference to `WinMain at 16'
.

Thing is, I never use WinMain :s

Any ideas?
