1d returned 1 exit status and winmain@16

[eroki]

when I tried to install SDL onto code blocks I get these error messages.

1d returned 1 exit status

undefined reference to WinMain@16

this is the code:

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

using namespace std;

main()
{
cout << "Hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try write main like...

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    return 0;
}

tl;dr: Replace main() with this

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    
}

Don't forget to include Windows.h

integralfx, I did as you said and it solved those problems, but now it says:

error: conflicting declaration of C function 'int WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, PWSTR, int)'

but thank you for your help

krako, I will try the tutorial now

[eroki]

so, I did as both of you said, and it solved those problems, but now I get a:

conflicting declaration of C function 'int WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, PWSTR, int)'

once again I am thankful for all answers and your help thus far

Make sure you are using main, not WinMain. Also it seems that it is a linker error you were getting so my guess is that you didn't setup the linker settings correctly, Lazy Foo has a excellent tutorial that covers setting SDL up for most platforms.

This is from the SDL FAQ also...

"I get "Undefined reference to 'WinMain@16'"

Under Visual C++, you need to link with SDL2main.lib. Under the gcc build environments including Dev-C++, you need to link with the output of "sdl-config --libs", which is usually: -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -mwindows"

[eroki]

it is finally solved, I used the setup guide I got from krako and the SDLfaq.

thank you all for the help

note: I did not use the main() replacement intergralfx gave
