| Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with Windows 95,NT |
| ============================================================================== |
| |
| These instructions are for people using the GNU free compilers. |
| If you want to use Microsoft VC++ with SDL, read "VisualC.html" |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| I. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries: |
| (This step isn't necessary if you have the SDL binary distribution) |
| |
| First, get gcc compiler for Win32, which can be found at: |
| http://www.libsdl.org/Xmingw32/index.html |
| |
| Grab the cross configure and make scripts, and then run: |
| sh cross-configure.sh |
| sh cross-make.sh install |
| If you have already built SDL natively, you must do "make distclean" |
| before you build for Win32. |
| |
| If everything compiles successfully, you now have SDL.dll and gcc archive |
| libraries libSDLmain.a and libSDL.a installed in /usr/local/cross-tools/ |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| II. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer test programs: |
| |
| This is easy once you have built the libraries: |
| |
| cd test; sh ../cross-configure.sh; sh ../cross-make.sh |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| III. Building the Simple DirectMedia Layer demo programs: |
| |
| Go to the directory containing the demo you want to build and type: |
| |
| sh cross-configure.sh; sh cross-make.sh |
| |
| Be sure to rename the demo to use the .exe extension, or Windows will |
| not be able to execute it. |
| |
| ============================================================================== |
| IV. Enjoy! :) |
| |
| If you have a project you'd like me to know about, or want to ask questions, |
| go ahead and join the SDL developer's mailing list by sending e-mail to: |
| |
| majordomo@lokigames.com |
| |
| and put the line "subscribe sdl" in the body of the message. |
