SDL and MinGW (Search didn't turn up useful answer)
Hi everyone,
I''m just starting to program graphical games and started using SDL.
Now here''s the problem: I want to use MinGW to compile my programs (I have Visual C++ 6 too, but don''t want to use it), but I can''t find anywhere a tutorial on how to compile MinGW using SDL.
I''m not using Msys, because I like to keep everything really minimal, so I know that it''s a little different than if I had msys.
Where do I put the SDL folder? What do I set for compile? Should I make a makefile?
Thanks, sorry for sounding all nooby, but I''m stumped about this.
Thanks.
Bill
Extract the include and lib folders to where you installed MinGW.
To compile a program from the commandline, just add ''-lsdl'' to the arguments you''d pass gcc/g++ normally. In Dev-C++ go to project options/parameters/linker and write ''-lsdl''.
You may want to copy sdl.dll from the lib directory to your windows system directory.

Go to http://cone3d.gamedev.net and look at their first sdl tutorial. It has what you need.
