SDL-Image for cygwin

SDL Development
1

I’ve been three weeks trying to compile SDL-image with cygwin. I’ve read
almost of this mailing list and web pages (the most interesting
http://www.winternet.com/~dfrankow/cygwin_mingw_sdl.html).

I beging to think that I’ll need to buy Visual C++ :(.

Some days ago I wrote to the mailing list the error when I compiled it,
but nobody answer me.

Please, if somebody have compiled SDL-image with cygwin or he knowns how
to compile that tell me.

In the “Why do I care?” section of this page, I think the author makes an
error. You can link SDL apps against the cygwin dll but I think you can’t
use the windows SDLmain. Cygwin will call main() in your program.

Isn’t there also a windows DLL build of SDLimage available from the pygame
project? I mean http://pygame.seul.org/ftp/win32-dependencies.zip
as linked from http://pygame.seul.org/download.shtml
Is it missing something?

You’ll have to generate the .a files yourself, here are some instructions
that I found:

You shouldn’t have to…On Thu, Oct 25, 2001 at 02:58:55PM +0200, samsaga2 wrote:

Thanks for those web. I transform SDL_image-VC5 dlls to .a files and all
runs ok.> On Thu, Oct 25, 2001 at 02:58:55PM +0200, samsaga2 wrote:
