Event management in C + + - c++

Question

I tried to use event management in C + +,
I joined the SDL library in VS and in my example,
here is my code:
#include "SDL/SDL.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SDL_Surface *ecran = NULL;
SDL_Event event; /* La variable contenant l'événement */
int continuer = 1; /* Notre booléen pour la boucle */
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
ecran = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE);
SDL_WM_SetCaption("Gestion des événements en SDL", NULL);
while (continuer) /* TANT QUE la variable ne vaut pas 0 */
{
SDL_WaitEvent(&event); /* On attend un événement qu'on récupère dans event */
switch(event.type) /* On teste le type d'événement */
{
case SDL_QUIT: /* Si c'est un événement QUITTER */
continuer = 0; /* On met le booléen à 0, donc la boucle va s'arrêter */
break;
}
}
SDL_Quit();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
No error in the code but after compiling I got an error:
LINK: fatal error LNK1561: entry point must be defined

Not sure if this is the same issue that you have, but I recall looking at this just a day or two ago!:
Quote:
There's something wrong with your project's settings. Did you actually create a Console Application? I think that you have created a Win32 Project instead of a Console. Do this:
Right click on project name -> Properties -> Expand Linker tab -> System -> SubSystem: make sure that it is Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE).
Otherwise, re-create the project, but when you create it, make sure that you select Win32 Console Application.

Looks like you have the same issue here...

If I remember correctly, there was something in the SDL which wraps your main() function: In the SDL-header, there is a line
#define main some_other_name
and then, somewhere in the library, there is a main() implementation, which calls some_other_name().
If I read the symptoms correctly, you are not statically linking the sdl library, so that the linker does not see the main() definition inside SDL, only the function some_other_name() which you have defined.
