Precompiled libraries for windows? Please :)?

SDL Development

Hello there
I encounter a lot of difficulties to build SDL_image, SDL_ttf with SDL 1.3 (for windows, minGW).
So I asked Sam Lantinga if he had precompiled libraries, and he suggested me to ask you,
do you have precompiled version of:

    I use neither. Instead of SDL_image I use stb_image and instead of
    SDL_ttf I have my own one based on freetype. What issues do you
    encounter with building these libraries?

I?ve just build SDL 1.3 using MinGW,
But now I have to recompil SDL_image…
But I can?t found any resource to explain me how to!!
When I try to use ./configure on the SDL_image (source) folder, I have these
3 errors:
Unable to find JPEG library (http://www.ijg.org)
Unable to find PNG library (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html)
Unable to find TIF library (http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff)

Okay, so I?m supposed to compil them too…
And, of course, compil zlib (required for libpng).
So I did, but I?m (once again) stopped because of a stupid error compiling
jpeg.

if the problem is with libjpg, you may be able to get a binary version
of that. When I was compiling SDL_Image I ran into similar issues, but
was using Visual C++…

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libjpeg

bottom of the page has a link to binary versions that you may be able
to just place somewhere that SDL_Image can find (e.g., the appropriate
lib/ directory).

Hope that helps,

Thank you, will try it :wink: !

However, if someone already have the precompiled version, it would be
greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

You need to compile those as well. In case you are as lazy as I am, you
might want to consider stb_image instead which might serve your need
just fine. Here is how you can use it with SDL:

http://immersedcode.org/2011/4/7/stb-image/

Just drop stb_image.c next to your file which implements the load_image
function and you’re good to go. load_image then returns an SDL_Surface
for your loaded image.

I don’t even know if mingw libraries are binary compatible with Visual
Studio ones, so I don’t think precompiled libraries are too useful to be
honest.

DLLs are, but *.a and *.o files versus VC *.obj *.lib are not. With a DLL,
there is a tool to extract all the symbols from it and make a *.a import
library (I think the tool is/was called “reimp”)On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 2:51 PM, Armin Ronacher <armin.ronacher at active-4.com>wrote:
