[SOLVED] Can't compile using SDL

I wrote this simple test.

#include <SDL.h>
int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
  return 0;
}

And when compiling it with

gcc -g -Wall -I/usr/include/SDL -o sdl-test.c -lSDL

I get:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.0/../../../../lib/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Anyone have any idea what I've done wrong or am missing?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't compile using SDL

gcc -g -Wall -I/usr/include/SDL -o sdl-test sdl-test.c -lSDL

Re: [SOLVED] Can't compile using SDL

Well, I feel stupid now.

Thanks so much for that, from the error I was thinking I'd screwed up a library or something, would never have tried changing the line I used to compile it.
