Normally I’d just build SDL from source, but the problem is that I’m
in a hurry (I need this for tomorrow, no exception - it’s for an
expo) and I’m having issues. I have managed to get SDL building on
MinGW but since I don’t have the DirectX API installed I had to
disable all DirectX support… and now I’m getting 500ms latency in
sound, which is definitely not acceptable. Getting the DirectX API
installed has been a pain every single time I tried (not to mention
finding the adequate archive with the versions I need), and I don’t
have enough time to attempt it again.
So I was wondering: does anybody out there have a pre-built SDL 2.0
for use with MinGW that makes use of DirectX? (or anything with a
decent amount of latency, for that matter) I’d need the .a file and
the DLL. Not really caring about the source code for this.

I usually cross compile SDL2 and family (Mixer, Image, TTF) using Ubuntu
12.04 Mingw64-* and I haven’t installed any DirectX headers that I know of,
everything that’s required ships in the packages, and it works like a charm.–

Whatever Code::Blocks is using doesn’t have it x_x And no, I don’t
have my cross-compilers set up here yet (downloaded them but I still
have no idea how to use them), I’m building this on the other computer
in my house which has Windows.
The problem strikes in that the only audio driver available to me
seems to be the multimedia API, and that thing has a horrible amount
of latency
Ah, that’s too bad. Is there any way to grab the resulting binaries from
the Buildbot? That would be nice. http://buildbot.libsdl.org/

Does the temporary build work for you? Sam occasionally puts one

OK, going to take a bath now (timing!) but will tell you later how it
works. Thanks
I’d say I’d add you to the “thanks” list in the credits of the game if
it wasn’t because I was going to do it anyway because of SDL itself
and all the changes I’ve been pushing for in the mailing list so far

Screw that, tried that now. Works fine, thanks Nitpicks:
SDL_main was missing (just undef’d main, MinGW doesn’t need WinMain)
Alt+F4 is not handled o_O;
WTF DirectX support takes up that much? My DLL was under 300KB, this
DLL is almost 4MB
Anyway, thanks, you saved my day XD

I don’t remember where this discussion ended. I think the consensus was
to allow keyboard shortcuts to do their expected behavior on all platforms.
It’s not DirectX, it’s mingw32 debug symbols. I strip those out before

Can somebody else verify the Alt+F4 issue? Alt+F4 works Ubuntu so my
game definitely is processing the quit event properly, unless there’s
some really weird quirk I’m missing out (doubt so, I just set a flag
when I get the event and let the main loop do the rest). If the bug is
real I’ll open a bug report if needed.
Also I’d like to remark I got this in windowed mode, making the
Alt+F4 issue even weirder.

Are you grabbing input? At least on X11 that still grabs all keyboard input.
I don’t think any explicit handling of shortcuts has been written yet,
so this could be a side effect of that.
