int main(){

I know this post has 9 months old but if someone, somewhere in the internet try to find out how to use SDL with mac, just follow this.

DL .dmg file on the SDL website (V2).

Put SDL2.framework in /Library/Frameworks

In your code :

#include <SDL.h>

and compile with those flags :

`sdl-config --cflags --libs`

Ex :

gcc test.c `sdl-config --cflags --libs`

---

Use this simple code to see it working :

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

int main( int argc, char *argv[ ] )
{
    SDL_Surface *screen;
    if( SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO ) == -1 )
    {
        printf( "Can't init SDL:  %s\n", SDL_GetError( ) );
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    atexit( SDL_Quit ); 
    screen = SDL_SetVideoMode( 640, 480, 16, SDL_HWSURFACE );

    if( screen == NULL )
    {
        printf( "Can't set video mode: %s\n", SDL_GetError( ) );
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }   

    SDL_Delay( 3000 );

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
