(If you geuss i'm getting sick of compiling errors, you're right :P)

The code

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <SDL.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){ //Our main program
        SDL_Surface *screen;
        SDL_Event event; //Events
        bool done = false; //Not done before we've started...

        if(SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0){ //Could we start SDL_VIDEO?
                std::cerr << "Couldn't init SDL"; //Nope, output to stderr and quit
                exit(1);
        }

        atexit(SDL_Quit); //Now that we're enabled, make sure we cleanup

        screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_RESIZABLE); //Create a 640x480x32 resizable window

        if(!screen){ //Couldn't create window?
                std::cerr << "Couldn't create screen"; //Output to stderr and quit
                exit(1);
        }

        while(!done){ //While program isn't done
                while(SDL_PollEvent(&event)){ //Poll events
                        switch(event.type){ //Check event type
                        case SDL_QUIT: //User hit the X (or equivelent)
                                done = true; //Make the loop end
                                break; //We handled the event
                        case SDL_VIDEORESIZE: //User resized window
                                screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(event.resize.w, event.resize.h, 32,
                                        SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_RESIZABLE); // Create new window

I was having a similar problem a few weeks back.
Also add SDLmain.lib to the linker input.

[gamebuster]

aah, again something else.

this one i've never seen before:

After i pasted " #pragma comment(lib, "SDL.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "SDLmain.lib")" @ the top, another error occurs:

Compiling...

========== Build: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

after this, an error box occured:
" Unable to start program [the .exe]

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. For more details, pls see the app. event log."


EDIT:
i did what the buildlog told me: disable the default library by adding it @ linker: ignore default library: /NODEFAULTLIB:[MSVCRTD.lib]

No compile errors, but still the " Unable to start program [the .exe]

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Review the manifest file for possible errors. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. For more details, pls see the app. event log."

You can safely ignore that linker warning.

The problem is most likely that you don't have the DLL, or that it's not in any of the the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. You should put it in c:\windows\system32 (or whatever it is in your system).
