I have been trying to compile the most basic of SDL apps but keep getting "Symbol Undefined" messages:
----------------------------------------------------------------
D:\dev\c++\sdl_attempt>dmc attempt SDLmain.lib SDL.lib -L/ENTRY:_WinMain@16
link attempt,,,SDLmain+SDL+user32+kernel32/noi/ENTRY:_WinMain@16;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

SDLmain.lib(SDL_win32_main)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined __getcwd
SDLmain.lib(SDL_win32_main)
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined ___mb_cur_max
----------------------------------------------------------------

A quick check of SDLmain.lib shows what it is expecting
----------------------------------------------------------------
D:\dev\c++\sdl_attempt>libunres SDLmain.lib

----------------------------------------------------------------

Trying to find the lib that contains these symbols shows:
----------------------------------------------------------------
D:\comp\dm\lib>grep __getcwd *
Binary file sdc.lib matches
Binary file sdl.lib matches
Binary file sdm.lib matches
Binary file sds.lib matches
Binary file sdx.lib matches
----------------------------------------------------------------

Linnking explicity against any of those gives a list of 400+ error messages -- the first error in each is "Memory Model Conflict." Since there is pretty much a 1:1 correspondence between dmc -m? options and sd?.lib files I am assuming each corresponds to a library for the memory model. However get_cwd and friends need to be implemented somewhere and grep says DMC does not do it for me. However grep also says I have no windows DLLs to do it either:
----------------------------------------------------------------
D:\comp\dm\lib>grep __getcwd c:\windows\*.dll
  <nothing>
D:\comp\dm\lib>grep __getcwd c:\windows\system\*.dll
  <nothing>
D:\comp\dm\lib>grep __getcwd c:\windows\system32\*.dll
  <nothing>
----------------------------------------------------------------

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this post!

That's because sdc.lib is for 16 bit code, C memory model. sdl.lib is for 16 bit code, L memory model, etc. The Win32 memory model library is snn.lib, which is probably what you're looking for.
