DSL Project "The application was unable to start correctly"

[sepoto]

I created a new SDL Project using the wizard. I specified the path to SDL as "C:\SDL-1.2.15".

The include directory and library directory I checked on the hard drive to be:
C:\SDL-1.2.15\include
C:\SDL-1.2.15\lib

I also copied the SDL.dll into C:\SDL-1.2.15\lib

Also I copied C:\SDL-1.2.15\include & C:\SDL-1.2.15\lib to C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\include & C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\lib

I build the project with the sample SDL code for windows and click the green play button to run the code and a get a message box coming up with a red error saying

"The application was unable to start correctly"

The output of the command window is:



Process returned -1073741701 (0xC000007B)   execution time : 3.072 s
Press any key to continue.


Does anyone know why this is happening?

I would guess that NOT being able to read and follow directions played a part in causing the problem.

If you disagree, please post how this thread is correct for being in the section "C::B DEVELOPMENT STRICTLY!".
