Compiling this program

Code:

#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
int main (int argc, char* argv[])
{
    SDL_Log("Hello/n");
    return 0;
}


using the following command in the Mingw32 shell of MSYS2

Code:

clang test_log.c -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -SDL2


and running it print the text "Hello" when run from cmd.exe but not when run from the terminal emulator shipped with MSYS2.
Is there any way to redirect the OutputDebugString (which SDL seems to be using) to stderr? If not, is there any other way of getting this to work?
