I'm having an error in this simple program ... I get a windows warning which has the following message

"Launching SDL basic.exe has encountered a problem. The program file specified in the launch configuration does not exist."

In the console i get the following error "Undefined reference to winmain16. I have linked the header file and a library as well...I was using code blocks and i recently changed ide to eclipse so i want your answers as detailed and simple as possible... My OS is Windows 7 64-bit...

#include <iostream>
#include <SDL.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "!!Hello World!!"<< endl;
return 0;
}

You need to provide something like this:

int CALLBACK WinMain(
  _In_ HINSTANCE hInstance,
  _In_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
  _In_ LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
  _In_ int       nCmdShow
);

This is the "real" main entry point into your program.
