I don’t think that there is an “internal” way yet(specifying it within your
SDL program, I mean) for Win32. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong. I do
believe it will be coming up in a near release (SDL 1.3, perhaps?). The only
way I could get it to work was to set an environment variable in the windows
system itself. If you’re on XP, right-click My Computer->properties. Clicked
"Adavanced" tab. At bottom is button - “Evironment variables”. click it-
then click new(either under “user” or “system”, I don’t think it matters,
mine’s under “user”), then give variable name SDL_VIDEO_CENTERED and value
of 1. That’ll do. I don’t know if you need to reboot at this point, but
knowing windows like I do, you probably need to. Other than XP, or if I’m
wrong on any point, someone else help!

Under windows, with vc standard library, putenv() and getenv() should work
try #include <stdlib.h>. They work for the CURRENT process only. And only if
one uses consistently putenv() getenv() (ie: doesn’t try to query
environment without using getenv() )
“That is, these functions operate only on data structures accessible to the
run-time library and not on the environment “segment” created for a process
by the operating system”.
If they are unresolved, try using _putenv() _getenv(), but this should not
be necessary.
The important thing is to have this putenv(“SDL_WINDOWsomething”…) done
BEFORE SDL needs it.
btw, If someone wanted to know :
There are 2 functions in win32 api to set or query an environment variable
for the current process, provided by the win32 kernel :
DWORD GetEnvironmentVariable(
LPCTSTR lpName,
LPTSTR lpBuffer,
DWORD nSize);
BOOL SetEnvironmentVariable(
LPCTSTR lpName,
LPCTSTR lpValue);
