I am using codeblocks as my IDE.

I have all the linker settings perfect, I have all the SDL libraries in and when I build in Debug configuration everything works fine.

I should also mention I am compiling a dll with SDL and so there is no main function.

The problem arises when I try and compile into Release configuration. I keep getting the same error no matter what I do:

ld.exe  cannot find -lSDL_main.

    If there is no main function, there’s no need for you to be linking SDL_main. Remove it from your build configuration.
