SDL problem

Ok, this is my minimal testcase for a problem I'm having with SDL_CreateRGBSurface(), or something around that area...  It's supposed to display a white box but something is wrong with the mask values I give to SDL_CreateRGBSurface and the only color I can get is this dark red.  I know it has nothing to do with the palette values so don't even bother.  Can anyone who's familiar with SDL tell me how to fix this shit?

#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

void setpalette(SDL_Surface* surface);

/*** Main Entry ***/
int WINAPI
WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {

        SDL_Surface* screen;
        SDL_Event event;


        /* Start SDL */
        if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO | SDL_INIT_TIMER) == -1) {
                printf("Failed to initialize a subsystem.\n");
                exit(1);
        }


        assert((screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 8, SDL_SWSURFACE)) != NULL);


        setpalette(screen);


        // Clear the screen
        SDL_FillRect(screen, NULL, 0);

        SDL_Surface *area;
        SDL_Rect rectarea = { 100, 100, 400, 400 };

        /*** FAIL TIEM ***/
        area = SDL_CreateRGBSurface(SDL_SWSURFACE, 111, 221, 8, 0x000000FF,0x0000FF00,0x00FF0000,0);

        assert(area != NULL);
        assert(!SDL_FillRect(area, NULL, 15));   // Color 15 should give me a white box
        SDL_BlitSurface(area, NULL, screen, &rectarea);

        SDL_Flip(screen);
        SDL_FreeSurface(area);


        while (1) {
                SDL_PollEvent(&event);

                if (event.key.type == SDL_KEYDOWN) {
                        // Escape: exit the program
                        if (event.key.keysym.sym == SDLK_ESCAPE)
                                break;
                }
        }

        SDL_Quit();
        return 0;
}


void setpalette(SDL_Surface* surface) {
        SDL_Color colors[256];
        colors[0].r = 0; colors[0].g = 0; colors[0].b = 0;
        colors[15].r = 255; colors[15].g = 255; colors[15].b = 255;
        SDL_SetColors(surface, colors, 0, 256);
}

You will find no programmers here.

you need to setpalette(area) before you fill it. currently it's interpreting the 15 as an RGB value, hence the dark red.

Thank you, sir =)

Don't use #include <SDL/SDL.h>. The directory it's installed into might vary from one system to the next; just use <SDL.h> and use `sdl-config --cflags` in your Makefile to get the proper -I option for it.

Oh and you probably shouldn't be using WinMain with SDL. Take a look at SDL_main.h; it provides a (weirdass) wrapper and some extra stuff in order to get your program to build and run on multiple platforms. I really recommend it; there's not really any point in using SDL over DirectX or whatever if you're not trying to be cross-platform.

Alright, thanks for the info.  I just put my SDL headers in /include/SDL/ because I figured it would be better than dumping them with everything else for some reason.... didn't even think that this wouldn't be portable at all.

where in the Makefile do I need to put this?  it doesn't seem to work anywhere for me.

I just typed this up right now, so you might need to tweak it a bit. It "should" work, and I use this general layout in my own projects. For BSD make, I dunno lol.

CC := gcc
CFLAGS := -g -Wall -std=gnu99 $(shell sdl-config --cflags)
LDFLAGS := $(shell sdl-config --libs)

APPNAME := hairyballs
SRCFILES := sweat.c pubes.c leftnut.c rightnut.c semen.c
HEADERS := testicles.h

OBJFILES := $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(SRCFILES))

.PHONY: all clean
all: $(PROGRAM)
clean:
    $(RM) *.o $(PROGRAM)
$(PROGRAM): $(OBJFILES)
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $^

# you could also put gcc -MM etc. output here if you want.
$(OBJFILES): Makefile $(HEADERS)

fuck you shiichan

and shit, I apparently couldn't decide to call it APPNAME or PROGRAM. Pick one.
