In a directory I created C:\mingw_dev_lib 2)Next you're going to want to get up the path for mingw so you can run mingw commands in any directory. I recommend putting it in a folder that you dedicate to holding all your development libraries for MinGW. Inside of i686-w64-mingw32 are the include, lib, and bin folders which contain everything we need compile and run SDL applications. It doesn't matter if you have a 64bit operating system, since we are compiling 32bit binaries we will be using the 32bit library. We will be using the 32bit binaries for this tutorial set. This is important: most compilers still compile 32bit binaries by default to maximize compatibility. That folder there should be a bunch of folders and files, most importantly i686-w64-mingw32 which contains the 32bit library and x86_64-w64-mingw32 whichĬontains the 64bit library. Open up the tar archive and the should be a folder called SDL2-2. Open the gzip archive and there should be a tar archive.
