How do you get a minimal SDL program to compile and link in visual studio 2008 express?

Question

I\'m trying to use SDL in C++ with Visual Studio 2008 Express. The following program compiles but does not link:

#include 

int main(int argc, c         


        

Answer 1

To me it helped to add the following lines before main():

#ifdef _WIN32
#undef main
#endif

German Wikipedia also suggests to add these lines instead:

#ifdef _WIN32
#pragma comment(lib, "SDL.lib")
#pragma comment(lib, "SDLmain.lib")
#endif

Though I still had link errors when I tried second solution.
