FWIW, I had no problems whatsoever building the previous snapshot via
configure & make.
Just a guess, but do you perhaps have a really out of date MinGW and MSys? I just built SDL2 recently with on a relatively stock MinGW installation. By stock, I mean a fresh install via the installer ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files ). Alternatively, you can do some updates from Msys with mingw-get (“mingw-get update” to make sure you have latest lists [also a good reference for the packages available], “mingw-get upgrade gcc” to upgrade gcc, “mingw-get install mintty” to get mintty, etc). That’s all I ever do anymore: A fresh MinGW+MSys install, and a TortoiseHG install on a new machine, and I have everything I need to get/build SDL.

I just built SDL2 recently with on a relatively stock MinGW installation.
I’m using the MinGW package from nuwen.net (something I’ve used for quite a
while), which includes gcc 4.7.1. I see there’s now a newer release with
4.7.2. At any rate, it’s not old. My MSYS installation is also recent. I
just bought this system in August and installed this stuff shortly after.
I’ll see about trying a different set up, though. Not something I had
considered.

I’m rather surprised turning DIRECTX off doesn’t work for you.
Can you post the exact cmake output when you use the -DDIRECTX=NO option?

This is exactly what I did when I got the error. At any rate, it appears to
have been a problem with the configuration in the nuwen package. I
installed fresh via mingw-get and was able to compile. I’m still curious to
know what caused the error, but I’ll take that over to nuwen.net. Thanks

Obviously you have to use a separate subdir.
eg.
mkdir build
cd build
…/configure
This is on both Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit. Sorry I don’t have an XP box
around to test it on though I’m afraid.

OK. I’ve given this a try from the command line again and encountering the
same errors I had the last time (which originally prompted me to use
cmake-gui).

Prevented in-tree built. Please create a build directory outside of the

I go up outside of the SDL source tree, create a sibling directory and try
again. Same error.
I’ve got it compiling again with configure/make, but if there’s anything
else I can do to determine if this is a problem on my end or with the cmake
script, I’ll be happy to help.On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 7:36 PM, Doug <douglas.linder at gmail.com> wrote:

Just a quick question, in cmake, when you select the compilers and make,
are you using the build tools with the “mingw32-” prefix? If not, try
those. I think I had a similar problem a while back, and that fixed it for
me.

This was with cmake-gui, btw, as I still can’t get it going at all
