SDL mingw build suggestion

Just a small suggestion, why not add a version tab to SDL.dll when building
with mingw (Like in Visual C++ build) ? so it is easy to tell one version of
SDL.dll from another when building with mingw.

Any idea how to do that?

You have to create a resource source file (*.rc) and compile it with
"windres". It makes an object file which can then be included in the DLL.

windres is part of mingw. It has a man page :slight_smile:
