Maybe these are not all packages directly,
but choose the packages that are available there
and you should get everything needed.
The CYGWIN installer also takes care about dependencys
for you.
After the installation finished, start CYGWIN.
Then download and compile SDL from the website,
the same way as in Linux :
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
On CYGWIN you don’t need to use su
between make and make install.
You should look at the configure messages,
you can also look with less the config.log
file.
Things can happen that your SDL version,
will not compiled with DirectX or OpenGL or MMX Support
for example, then look at this website what
to do about them :
