First,
congratulations on getting the SDL project to where it is now - I really like it.
I am in the process of adding a SDL front end to www.openh323.org 's project, which is
a voice and video over ip project. openh323 is cross platform, and ports include BSD, linux,
win9x, win ce, and win NT (I think).
Sadly, the video is not there yet. There is an X11 interface, but it doesn’t have the features
of SDL. In a couple of days, I learnt how to use SDL, and wrote code to display video.
All on a linux platform, and really cool.
BUT, then I went to check the windows side of it.
I found no precompiled binary for SDL_image libraries under windows.
I found no instructions for creating SDL_image win32 libraries from source.
OK. So I went to SDL, and wondered if I could use the same instructions (suitably modified).
PLEASE, the sentence
"Be certain that you unzip VisualC.zip into THIS directory and not any other." is horribly vague.
What is THIS directory -
what winzip classic suggests
what winzip 6.2 suggests
the name of the directory in cvs.
OK. I don’t actually need SDL_image for the openh323 project, but I might in future.
Any suggestions on getting it to compile under win32.

I can send you mine, if you’d like?

With MS Visual C++, just compile the projects. With the rest (mingw,
cygwin, cross-compile), I believe you work pretty much the same way as in a
normal unix build environment.

I believe it is the current directory, the directory where you will find
VisualC.zip. So that means you should end up with a VisualC subdirectory in
the same directory as the original VisualC.zip file. This has worked for me
with all VC project files. (except for the fact that they all referenced
different versions of the SDL base library…)
Any suggestions on getting it to compile under win32.
I know one of the SDL projects has an empty VisualC.zip file, I had to
retrieve a more recent one directly from the CVS web interface for that
project.–

I use SDL to develop on Linux and Win32, and I find that the easiest way to
build things is to set them up to use autoconf and build everything on
Linux, whether building for Linux or Win32. I have also successfully
compiled everything that is supposed to work with Win32 (SDL, SDL_image,
SDL_net, etc.) this way. If you want, I can send you a skeleton project
that you can use to have your SDL based project compile using autoconf.
That said, I’ve never successfully gotten SDL to build natively on Win32
under Win2k. Building everything on Linux seems to be much easier.
OK. I don’t actually need SDL_image for the openh323 project, but I might
