SDL v. 1.2.8 Dev-Pak.

[vca]

Hello,
I'm running Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2, Win. XP-Pro.; and coding in the "C" language.

This is my first attempt at SDL programming.I've copied the SDL.dll,
and SDL_mixer to Windows\system32 folder; and added the following to the
linker: lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_image -mwindows.

The program I'm trying to compile follows:

include <stdlib.h>

include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main( int argc, char* args[] )
{
// Start SDL SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );
// Quit SDL SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}

I'm receiving this error:lmingw32 No such file or directory.

I've done a search at this forum, and found many such posts
displaying this error. However none of the solutions seem to work
for me.

Please assist me with this:my compile log follows.

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "D:\mysdl\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "D:\mysdl\Makefile.win" all
gcc.exe Project1.o -o "Project1.exe" -L"D:/Dev-Cpp/lib" lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL-mwindows -mwindows

gcc.exe: lmingw32: No such file or directory

Thank you,

Look at the log (and indeed what you have typed). You are missing the '-' before lmingw32. Consequently it thinks you are attempting to link a file called "lmingw32" rather than libmingw32.a.

The fact that it was asking for a file "lmingw32" should have rang alarm bells.
