    _powder.c should not be compiled.
    Also you need to make sure SDL's path is in your include paths.

    Steps. (sorry for english I am Russian only 18)

    1. RE-download source.

    2. open folder and delete _powder.c

    3. make a folder on your desktop called source.

    4. move all folders into it.

    5. download needed libraries and put in source folder.

    6. make a new project and then follow steps 8-12

    hope I helpped.

    Rob215, just go to the wiki (link at the top of the page) and read the Coding Setup and Tutorial. I tried to make them as clear as possible
  • Rob215     20th Aug 2010 Member 0 Permalink
    I read GitHub and Visual Studio Setup, set up only Visual Studio.

    EDIT: 8) Go to Project > Properties > Configuration Properties > Linker > Input. Open the drop down menu and click edit, and enter the following text:

    What drop down?

    EDIT: OK, I did the rename thing and down to this error.
