<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm attempting to integrate PhysFS with SDL 2.0 (latest from mercurial) and there seems to be a conflict here.</span><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">PhysFS 2.0.3 compiles and runs fine with the test program using Visual Studio 10.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">However, as soon as you introduce SDL to the equation, it causes crashes. It compiles fine with no errors.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I made a skeleton program to test this:</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">

This will cause the application to crash when it's calling PHYSFS_init.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">There are a lot of things that seem to go wrong in windows.c</div>
