The SDL forums have moved to discourse.libsdl.org.
This is just a read-only archive of the previous forums, to keep old links working.

I had some trouble with that so here are my experiences.

* Create a file named SDL_revision.h with content #define SDL_REVISION 0
* Install the DirectX SDK
* add the DirectX-SDK dir in Project->Properties->Configuration
Properties->C/C++->General->Additional Include Directories
* for the new project:
- add the SDL/include dir in the same place
- in Project->Properties->Configuration
Properties->C/C++->Linker->Input->Additional dependencies add:
yourSDLdir\VisualC\SDL\Debug\SDL.lib
yourSDLdir\VisualC\SDLmain\Debug\SDLmain.lib
- remove any old SDL dlls from c:\windows\system32
- add yourSDLdir\VisualC\SDL\Debug\ and
yourSDL_ttfdir\VisualC\Debug\ to the PATH env var
- make sure you #include "stdafx.h"
- make sure main() takes both its arguments, and explicitly
returns 0. (because SDL fakes main() with a macro)
- compile latest freetype, dont use the outdated GnuWin32 binaries.

Maybe this helps someone "

Hi Stefan,

thanks for your contribution.

Maybe you could check if the "Compiling for Windows" section misses some of
your steps and update it
accordingly?
