DirectX and SDL

SDL Development

How similiar is SDL to DirectX… If a game was made based on DX would
it be easy to port it to work with SDL? Anyone know where I can get
info on how to convert DirectX code to SDL?

Hello,

I have a kind of stupid question to ask. Mainly just clarification. Since I downloaded the win32 sdl library binaries, do I still have to download the DirectX SDK. I wouldn’t think not, and I guess I should just try it, but might as well ask.

Thanks,

Eric

No, you don’t. You would if you wanted to rebuild the library from source
with DirectX support, but you don’t have to to use the SDL library itself.

See ya!
