stefanullinger to me I updated and wanted to compile SDL, but it does not work. The reason is the new pre-build step. Currently it says: "if exist $(SolutionDir)\..\include\SDL_config.h goto SDLCONFIGOKAY echo Copying SDL_config_win32.h to SDL_config.h... copy $(SolutionDir)\..\include\SDL_config_win32.h $(SolutionDir)\..\include\SDL_config.h :SDLCONFIGOKAY if exist $(SolutionDir)\..\include\SDL_revision.h goto SDLREVISIONOKAY echo Creating stub SDL_revision.h file... echo #define SDL_REVISION 0 >$(SolutionDir)\..\include\SDL_revision.h :SDLREVISIONOKAY" So ... the problem with this lines is, that they lookup the SolutionDir... I think it should use the ProjectDir here! I - for example - want to use SDL within my engine... So my engine is the solutionDir...not SDL...SDL is just a sub-project. I think you should change this, shouldn't you?! Regards, Stefan

To compile and install SDL:

    1.  Run './configure; make; make install'

        If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
        http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42

        If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
        the file VisualC.html

    2.  Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML
        documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

    3.  Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
    	sdl-request@libsdl.org
        and put "subscribe" in the subject of the message.

        Or alternatively you can use the web interface:
            http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php

That's it!
