Installing SDL
There are very few steps for installing SDL. To help the SDL community, along with purchasers of this
book, I've created a Win32 installer which contains the "core" SDL packages: SDL, SDL_Net, SDL_Image
and SDL_Mixer.
To install the SDL .lib and binaries you can either:
- Run the SDL Win32 Installer created for this book.
- Visit the official SDL Homepage and download them.
Compiler Configuration
To use SDL, the only thing you need to do is to include the path to the header and library files from
within your IDE.
- Visual Studio 6.0:
From the main toolbar, hit Tools then Options then select the Directories tab. Enter the path to your SDL include and lib folders.
- Visual Studio .NET 2003:
From the main toolbar, hit Tools then Options then under the Projects group and select VC++ Directories. Enter the path to your SDL include and lib folders.
- Visual Studio .NET 2005:
From the main toolbar, hit Tools then Options then under the Projects and Solutions group and select VC++ Directories. Enter the path to your SDL include and lib folders.
