SDL2 issue undefined reference SDL_main - eclipse

Question

i,v downloaded SDL2 library on windows7 64bit i,m using MinGW compiler and my IDE is : eclipse Mars
so the problem is when i build my SDL program i face this problem :
C:\Users\{C}\Desktop\eclipse\MinGW\lib/libSDL2main.a(SDL_windows_main.o):SDL_windows_main.c:(.text+0x18): undefined reference toSDL_main'`
i did every thing correctly but i keep facing this issue and that,s the whole CDT build :
13:19:24 Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project
boring **** Info: Internal Builder is used for build g++
"-LC:\\Users\\{C}\\Desktop\\eclipse\\MinGW\\lib" -o boring.exe
"src\\boring.o" -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2
C:\Users\{C}\Desktop\eclipse\MinGW\lib/libSDL2main.a(SDL_windows_main.o):SDL_windows_main.c:(.text+0x18):
undefined reference to `SDL_main' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1
exit status 13:19:27 Build Finished (took 3s.337ms)
and here,s my source code:
#include <iostream>
#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
const int SCREEN_WIDTH = 800;
const int SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600;
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0) {
cout << "SDL init failed." << endl;
return 1;
}
SDL_Window *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Particle Fire Explosion",
SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SCREEN_WIDTH SCREEN_HEIGHT, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);,
if (window == NULL) {
SDL_Quit();
return 2;
}
bool quit = false;
SDL_Event event;
while (!quit) {
// Update particles
// Draw particles
// Check for messages/events
while (SDL_PollEvent(&event)) {
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
quit = true;
}
}
}
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
thanks;

SDL requires that you define your main exactly as main(int argc, char *argv[]). Please check if this resolves your problem.
