#include "SDL.h"
#include <ctime>

int main(){
	SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );
	SDL_WM_SetCaption("caption", NULL);
	SDL_Surface *buffer;
	bool FULLSCREEN = false;
	if (FULLSCREEN == false){
		buffer = SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE | SDL_FULLSCREEN);
	}
	else
	{
		buffer = SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);
	}
	SDL_Event event;
	while (event.type != SDL_QUIT){
		SDL_PollEvent(&event);
		SDL_Flip(buffer);
	}
	SDL_FreeSurface(buffer);
SDL_QUIT;

Did you link with SDL properly? Read the SDL setup tutorial on some sites regarding Windows.

You need to link with SDL properly, and make sure that the Windows API is present, since SDL wraps it.

Also, try "SDL/SDL.h".

Line 4 should be int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {.
