Compiling SDL 1.2.14 on Windows7

SDL Development
1

Hello All,

I am trying to compile SDL ver 1.2.14 on a Windows 7 machine. Compiler
gives error that “ddraw.h” not found.
Directx10 is of no use as ddraw.h has been deprectaed. I tries
installing DirectX7 but it seems to be incompatible with Win7.

Please suggest a solution for this problem as I need to compile SDL in
my environment rather than using the binaries directly.

Thanks

I believe the wiki notes indicate that you need to install the latest
DirectX 9 SDK, which you can find here:
