textpad help

I had taken a couple college class on programing and had worked with sdl a bit with Microsoft visual studios and used text pad for the most part in the other bits. So I have textpad on my laptop and would like to make a few tools in sdl for my gaming sessions but I can't seem to get it to work I have a development kit for c++ and the downloaded the sdl one but I don't know how to get it to work for textpad and can't find anything online.

Linker problem, >>9 has it right. The headers have been successfully included and your test.cpp has been successfully compiled. However, the linker doesn't know you want to link with the SDL dll, so you need to tell it on the command line.
