The SDL package can be put on your home computer:
- The following location is where you can get SDL:
http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php
-
The Package is under the "Development Libraries" called:
SDL-devel-1.2.13-VC8.zip (Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1)
-
I recommend extracting the package to a directory called SDL-1.2.13
(perhaps in the Program Files folder ie.C:\Program Files\SDL-1.2.13\)
To avoid setting some Project Properties for every new SDL project in
Visual Studio, follow these steps:
- Make a directory under C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\include called SDL
- Transfer all of the .h files from the SDL-1.2.13\include directory into this newly created SDL directory.
- Copy SDL-1.2.13\lib\SDL.dll to C:\WINDOWS\System
- Copy SDLmain.lib and SDL.lib (also in SDL-1.2.13\lib\) to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\lib
