Yeah, exactly.  I don't know how to set linker flags in cbuilder, but you 
need these flags:

-lSDLmain -lSDL

If that doesn't work, make sure you have actually put these libraries where 
the linker will find them.  The libraries may have a ".a" extension...  Read 
your linker documentation to learn how to set library search paths, etc..
