Can't compile basic SDL2 script

[jpchang]

Hello, everyone. I am following Lazy Foo's SDL 2.0 tutorial. On the section for installing SDL2 for Code::Blocks, I followed every step, but when I compiled, I got an error that I haven't been able to find elsewhere on the Internet.

The code:

//Using SDL and standard IO
#include <SDL.h>
#include <stdio.h>

//Screen dimension constants
const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 640;
const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 480;

int main( int argc, char* args[] )
{
//The window we'll be rendering to
SDL_Window* window = NULL;

//The surface contained by the window
SDL_Surface* screenSurface = NULL;

//Initialize SDL
if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) < 0 )
{
printf( "SDL could not initialize! SDL_Error: %s\n", SDL_GetError() );
}
else
{
//Create window
window = SDL_CreateWindow( "SDL Tutorial", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN );
if( window == NULL )
{
printf( "Window could not be created! SDL_Error: %s\n", SDL_GetError() );
}
else
{
//Get window surface
screenSurface = SDL_GetWindowSurface( window );

//Fill the surface white
SDL_FillRect( screenSurface, NULL, SDL_MapRGB( screenSurface->format, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF ) );

//Update the surface
SDL_UpdateWindowSurface( window );

//Wait two seconds
SDL_Delay( 2000 );
}
}

//Destroy window
SDL_DestroyWindow( window );

//Quit SDL subsystems
SDL_Quit();

return 0;
}

I am coding in C++, and I am using a Windows 8 laptop. Please help, thanks.

My suggestion, use the same compiler as was used to build the library.
(Mixing Compiler versions does NOT work very often; mixing MinGW32 and MinGW64 does NOT work very often either.)

If that fails, post the problem on a site that support your compiler.
