Can't link to SDL2 (or boost) on Windows

[hardcoder]

Hi,

I am testing CodeLite as an alternative IDE (to VC++) on Windows. I am trying to build simplest SDL2 application using console g++ template but I am getting this compilation errors:

C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /c "mingw32-make.exe -j 8 -e -f Makefile"
----------Building project:[ hello - Debug ]----------

I am using official SDL 2.0.3 mingw binaries and this is full source code:

#include <SDL.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) != 0){

return 1;
}
SDL_Quit();

return 0;
}

Your are still referencing MSVC somewhere in your project, re-check your build options.
Don't mix g++ libraries with VC libraries.

I don't even have MSVC on that machine. I alredy tried on 3 machines. Clean CodeLite install, g++ console project and basic main. I tried linking SDL or BOOST libraries and there are no linkking errors but everything is still "unresolbed externals". Interestinly code snipped I posted originally also sometimes (it warries with revuild...) gives this:

Did you add libraries to linker option?
Add it in linker tab of project settings (right click project)
- Add folder(s) where libs are
- add lib names separated by semi-colon

can you zip & attach your CL project? your first post shows a number of directives that are clearly for MSVC.
