I just got done running the “library gauntlet” on Win32 for SDL_gui (SDL_gui
requires SDL_image and SDL_ttf, SDL_image requires libpng and jpeg, libpng
requires zlib, SDL_ttf requires freetype … argh! 
Anyway, I finally got
everything working (SDL_gui looks really nice, BTW.)
I can post the latest Win32 development binaries for the libraries someplace
if there is interest, otherwise we can wait until Sam gets back. (The
library pages need updating when you get a chance, Sam.) The libraries in
parentheses are statically linked into the dlls, is this a “bad thing” ™?-----------------------------------------
SDL_image-devel-1.0.8.VC++.zip
Most recent development binary was 1.0.4 and did not contain png or jpg
support. This one supports png and jpg but does not include the new tiff
support (couldn’t get at the tiff library.)

Does this version contain the fix for reading PNG’s under Win 2K and NT?–

I think this was fixed in SDL-image-1.0.5. I compiled the library and loaded
PNG’s under NT4 so if there is a problem I am not seeing it on this end. The
stuff has been there for a while but the links are stale on the library
page. I found SDL_image-1.0.8 in the
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/src/ directory by accident the
other day. Same goes for SLD_ttf-1.2.1 in the
http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/src/ directory.

I ran the same gauntlet recently, but with cross-compiling.
I now have cross-dev libs for all the latest libs.
There really does need to be a central spot for all of these
things.
www.libsdl.org would seem to be the right place, but I think we
need to provide some support to Sam for maintaining it (if he’s
willing). I think it has grown too large for one person to keep
up with.
At the least, there should be an “incoming” FTP directory for
files like this. I don’t mind building a few libs and
uploading the archives whenever a new release is made.

PS> Thanks for the comment on SDL_gui. I wouldn’t mind hosting
the VC++ dev archives on my site. It isn’t fast, but it’s
small enough to be easily maintained.

I’m more than happy to accept archives of these. I don’t have an
incoming directory, and I’m hesitant to add one without verifying
the validity of the uploaders, but if you post to the SDL mailing
list with a URL, I’ll download them and add them to the respective
pages.
Thanks!

Great, have you done this with the latest rev of the libraries? Are there
any changes that need to be made to the project files or the code? I’ll be
happy to host the binaries here (send them via e-mail, or host them on a site)
Thanks!
