Hi,

You get the error because SDL defines its own program entry point, so you
can't use WinMain.

In the Project Option, Parameters, C Compiler, you should enter this define:
-Dmain=SDL_main

In the Project Option, Parameters, Linker, you should enter something like
this:
-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows
-s

My include directory and lib directory are:
D:\SDL125\i386-mingw32msvc\include\SDL
D:\SDL125\i386-mingw32msvc\lib

I have compiled and linked two test examples: testwin and testalpha from the
SDL 1.2.5 distribution.
The two projects are built using Dev-C++ 4.9.8.0 (GCC 3.2).
If you like, I could zip the project files and e-mail them to you.

Best Regards,
Yeoh
