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

[Raum no-log org]

Ehm.. I don't have any idea or any clue....

I've tried to create C code and compile it :
-----------------------------------------------------
/* test2.c generated by valac 0.12.0, the Vala compiler
 * generated from test2.vala, do not modify */
#include <glib.h>
#include <glib-object.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <stdio.h>

gint _vala_main (gchar** argc, int argc_length1);

gint _vala_main (gchar** argc, int argc_length1) {
        gint result = 0;
        SDL_Init ((guint32) 0);
        SDL_Quit ();
        fprintf (stdout, "Hello world!");
        result = 0;
        return result;
}

int main (int argc, char ** argv) {
        g_type_init ();
        return _vala_main (argv, argc);
}
-------------------------------------------------

And I've got the same error (which is not surprising...) :
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

-mwindows
