Does anybody have compiled SDL\_gfx for Dev-Cpp or for Mingw32?  
I get errors creating static libraries.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve attached a project that works for me. Basically you need to add a  
couple of defines that are not set by default:  
-DBUILDING\_DLL=1  
-DBUILD\_DLL=1  
-DWIN32

which is what that project does.
