[SDL] Can't build SDL test project using Borland C++ command line tools

[Benoit Renard]

Apologies for starting another thread on this. I don't know how to post 
a reply to my previous thread.

Eiffelmedia has clearer instructions on how to make an SDL.lib file for 
Borland C++, but nothing on creating SDLmain.lib:

impdef SDL.def SDL.dll
implib SDL.lib SDL.def

It should probably be implib -a -c SDL.lib SDL.def for the second line, 
according to Chris Dion's instructions. So, now that I had an SDL.lib 
file, I tried following the rest of Chris Dion's instructions. However, 
it doesn't work. I even tried Martin Bickel's hint of using -b to make 
enums have the size of an int.

Using
bcc32 -b -tW -DWIN32 -I"C:\Program Files\bcc55\include\SDL" sdltest.cpp 
sdl_main.c > errors.txt
I get:
