MinGW with SDL

SDL Development

Am trying to using MinGW with SDL.

Does anyone know any good sites or instructions or guides on getting this
working?

Hi Andrew,

What exactly do you mean by “using MinGW with SDL”? I assume that your
MinGW cross-compiler is set up already? If so, just go ahead and compile
SDL as usual (run configure providing --host and --build).

Cheers,
Oliver

First things first, are you using any particular IDE and if so which version? There’s a minor issue with Code::Blocks 8.02 but I can’t say if this has been fixed in the daily releases (probably).— On Fri, 10/17/08, Andrew Wan <andrew_wan1980 at hotmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

What operating system? I use MinGW on Linux:

  1. Install MinGW:
    aptitude install mingw32

  2. Download SDL libs, copy includes to:
    /usr/i586-mingw32msvc/include/SDL/
    copy dlls to your program directory

  3. Write Makefile with flags:
    CC=i586-mingw32msvc-g++
    CFLAGS= -D_REENTRANT -Dmain=SDL_main
    LIBS= -L/home/dedek/projekty/krosy/sdl1.2.13/libs -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_image -lSDL_ttf -mwindows
    #LIBS= -L/home/dedek/projekty/krosy/sdl1.2.13/libs -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_mixer -lSDL_image -lSDL_ttf -mwindows -mconsole

I don’t know if _REENTRANT is needed, probably not for Windows. Hashed LIBS is
for debug version (with console).

Aren’t most MinGW users on Windows? Anyhow, here’s an article I wrote about MinGW on Windows and GCC on Debian GNU/Linux:

I hope it helps,
