Re: [Vala] undefined reference to 'SDL_Init' and/or 'WinMain 16' (under Windows)

Well, I've tried but I've got the same error.

SDL package : SDL-devel-1.2.15-mingw32.tar.gz
(copy files from tarball to directories "include", "lib" and "bin").

To correct a "-lcom32dlg" error, I've installed :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/w32api/w32api-3.17/w32api-3.17-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma/download
(copy files from tarball to directories "include", "lib" and "bin").

> valac  --pkg sdl -X -lsdl -X -lsdlmain -X -lmingw32 -X -mwindows
--verbose test2.vala
gcc -o 'C:/vala\test2' 'C:/vala/test2.vala.c' -mms-bitfields
-Ic:/vala/include/glib-2.0 -Ic:/vala/lib/glib-2.0/include  -Lc:/vala/lib
-lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl '-lsdl' '-lsdlmain'
'-lmingw32' '-mwindows'
c:/vala/lib/libmingw32.a(main.o):main.c:(.text+0xbd): undefined reference
to `WinMain 16'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

:-?

Thanks :)
