Compile SDL with MinGW

SDL Development

Hello,

I’m currently trying to compile SDL with MinGW.
I do as described in
http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/README.txt, but where can I
find usr/local/lib?

In E:\MSYS\1.0\local\lib I found the .a files and in
E:\MSYS\1.0\local\bin a sdl.dll but it is 1,59MB, why is it so huge?

Regards,
Christoph

Hello !

E:\MSYS\1.0\local\bin a sdl.dll but it is 1,59MB, why is it so huge?

It contains debug infos you can use the
strip command to reduce the DLL size.

Use the visual studio built version - the mingw version has bugged sound.
