Sdl issues (installation)

SDL Development
1

I’m trying to decide if the issues are with SDL or my makefile program and
SH, or the components in SDL. I’m following the directions to setup LibSDL
but failing miserably: I’m using MinGWin, in Windows XP (don’t laugh, it was
an experiment and I’ll be going back to 2k!)

Umm…what seems to be the problem? It looks as if everything compiled fine. I
don’t have experience with SDL in windows with MinGWin, but the procedure to get
SDL installed in Linux is:
./configure
make
make install
So, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say that you should do something like:
sh configure
make
make install
