SDL Development

Hi to all,
I sent an email earlier today about my problems with
compiling in MinGW any programs involving SDL. Does anyone have any
information that could point me as to how to properly install it step
by step??? I am working from a course book titled, “Programming Linux
Games.” This book is by John R. Hall of Loki Software, Inc. I am my
classmates are having problems getting SDL to work on the Linux
Enterprise side or the Windows side using MinGW with MSYS GUI. If
anyone has knowledge as to where there is more information as to how
newbies to SDL installations it will be greatly appreciated. My
professors web site is www.brianmalloy.com. Check it out so you can
see what we are trying to do! Thanks in advance!

You got an answer yesterday. Doesn’t it work ?

When you have a problem, always describe it precisely (" I am my
classmates are having problems getting SDL to work" doesn’t qualify :wink:
If you get an error message, always put it in your mail.
