OK, I’m almost ready to give up…
I have installed Cygwin and am able to compile a simple program (just to
make sure that the installation went OK).
I have placed the SDL development libraries and includes are in
"/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc".
The “prefix” in the “sdl-config” file reads
"prefix=/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc" , which matches where the
SDL development files are placed.
I encounter a problem when I attempt to build applications in the ./test
directory.******************

Do you have the very latest cygwin version? I had similar problems. I also had
to look closely at which versions the cygwin setup program wanted to install, I
think it’s not very good yet.
Another problem might be, that the SDL.h file is really at SDL/SDL.h. Try to
copy it one directory down.
