It seems that several people are having trouble compiling the base DLLs for
Win32 SDL. Would there be any problems with me posting the SDL, SDLmain,
smpeg, freetype, SDL_ttf, SDL_image, SDL_mixer, and related headers, lib’s
and dll’s on my own website? I realize all the copyrights to these don’t
belong to the same group, at least not freetype, and I haven’t researched
the others yet.
I’m also thinking about posting a thorough guide to building SDL and SDL
apps on Win32. (After all, if you can do that, all you need to build on
Linux is a makefile! I think…) I think it’d help some newbies out
tremendously!

Right on, I’d definately be interesed in seeing that. Go for it!

if you want to take on this little ‘support project’ i’d be glad. for
now i have been maintaining something like this for myself. i’ve got a
lot on my plate currently, so if someone else wanted to maintain
something like this that’d make me really happy too!
this has all the latest “release” versions. it has all the sub-
dependencies included except oggvorbis and tiff.
makes it real easy to compile any programs which require SDL.
(you can ignore the “Setup” files it comes with)

before i had this package i had people asking me this quite a bit.
just having the packages precompiled has kept compiler “newbies” from
needing compiler help :]
while your at there, you can check out my little python/SDL project http://pygame.seul.org
I have a preliminary site up with several compiled libraries, including the
latest CVS of SDL as well as SDL_net, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, SDL_ttf,
FreeType, and SMPEG. I have included the accompanying legal notices, etc.,
headers, and lib’s and dll’s. Sorry *nux fanatics, this site is targetted
toward Windows developers, and I have stored everything in .zip format. (I
never understood the need for tarballs anyways…)
Some of you who are a tad more experienced than I: feel free to drop by and
see if I have uneeded headers or dll’s I can toss, or (even worse) if I have
posted anything I’m not supposed to or left out any legal-type docs.
I certainly hope this helps someone! I know I would have liked to have
had ttf and freetype precompiled in particular…

if this stays up to date, it helps me out a lot. it’s not just for newbies!
