   Don't get SDL working - Mac

  this simple example works.#include <stdlib.h>#include <SDL/SDL.h>#ifdef main#  undef main#endifint main(int argc, char *argv[]){    if ( SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0 ) {   fprintf(stderr, "SDL konnte nicht initialisiert werden: %s\n", SDL_GetError());   exit(1);    }    atexit(SDL_Quit);printf("LLOL\n");return 0;}---> also here i have to undef the main created by sdl.h;  SDL provides its own main function. It creates an instance of NSApplication, which initializes Cocoa's garbage collector. By undefining theirs and defining your own, you bypassed that. That is why you received errors regarding the autorelease pool.The solution is to remove the "#ifdef main" bit and rename your main function to SDL_main.   ;  now i have the linker error: undefined symbol main   ;  in de the devkit i have a SDLmain.m. after compiling this everything works - thanks   ;  Ah, I forgot to mention the part about SDLmain.m. I'm glad you got it working.
