Cannot link with ocamlsdl

[Chimrod]

Hello,

I'm posting the issue here because I do not known where to find... I'm trying to build a project with ocamlsdl, but the compilation fails at the link stage.

Here is a minimal program

let main () =
        print_endline "START:";
        Sdl.init [`VIDEO];
        Sdlvideo.set_video_mode [];
        Sdltimer.delay 2000;
        Sdl.quit ();
        print_endline "STOP!"

let _ = main ()

and the compilation line : ocamlbuild -pkg sdl test.native give this output : undefined reference to « wWinMain »

.../usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/libmingw32.a(lib64_libmingw32_a-crt0_w.o) : Dans la fonction « wmain » :
/usr/src/debug/mingw64-x86_64-runtime-5.0.4-1/crt/crt0_w.c:23 : référence indéfinie vers « wWinMain »
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
** Fatal error: Error during linking

The following packages have been installed with the cygwin package manager

• libSDL{-devel,.1_2_0}
• libSDL_image{-devel,.1_2_0}
• libSDL_mixer{-devel,.1_2_0}
• libSDL_ttf{-devel,.1_2_0}
• mingw64-x86_64-SDL
• mingw64-x86_64-SDL_image
• mingw64-x86_64-SDL_mixer
• mingw64-x86_64-SDL_ttf

Thanks for your help :)

ocamlsdl probably references the ascii runtime, while recent OCaml verions have switched to the unicode runtime. Try it again with OCaml 4.05.0 or earlier.

Switching to 4.05.0 actually works fine. Thanks for answering so fast !
