Last time I checked dev-c++ uses MinGW as its default compiler so it
will take a little work.

  1. Copy the headers files from the zip files into include\sdl.
  2. Download the binary archive for sdl_image and sdl_mixer.
  3. Download a tool such as: impdef, reimp, or pexports. Use Google to
    find them.
  4. Using the tool from step 3 create an import library file from the
    main DLLs (SDL_image.dll + SDL_mixer.dll). Place that file in the lib
    directory for dev-c++.
  5. Copy all the DLLs in the binary archives to your systems shared
    library directory. Probably something like : c:\windows\system32.

Hi,

I have just followed these steps to get the sdlimage.c file to compile, with
a little alteration to the code it now runs using the sdl_image.dll.

This is what I did to get the import files.

  1. Copied the sdl_image.h file to the include\sdl directory

  2. Placed the sdl_image.dll in the dev directory, ran pexports with the
    following command:

    pexports sdl_image.dll > sdl_image.def

  3. Then used the dlltool in the bin directory with the following command:

    dlltool --def sdl_image.def --dllname sdl_image.dll --output-lib
    libsdl_image.a -k

  4. Copied the libsdl_image.a to the lib directory.

  5. Used the following additional command line options:

    -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows -lsdl_image

  6. I had trouble with line 41, so I changed it to: Uint8 *dst; //=
    screen->pixels;

  7. Copied the dlls to the relevant locations.

  8. The file now compiled and now the program runs from the command line.

This link helped me with the dll lib extraction:

ls.html>

Hope some of this is of some use. I however haven’t used sdl_mixer yet, but
I would have thought the process would be the same.

Regards
