as an alternative to Windows. FreeBSD's ports make it very easy to use all kinds of libraries and GCC runs much faster than MinGW?'s GCC on Windows (MinGW? GCC's speed was the main reason that pushed me towards the DM compiler).This page hosts developer packs for the Digital Mars
compilers. They contain everything needed to get start programming with the respective libraries. The how-to sections explain how the files contained in the developer packs can be generated.SDL
Developer package
Grab it here. Instructions inside.
How-to
- grab a precompiled SDL.dll. From the VC6 or MinGW? devel packages at the SDL site for example.
- generate the import library
implib /system /noi SDL.lib SDL.dll
implib is not included with DMC. It's in the "Basic Utilities" package provided for free on the download page at the Digital Mars website.
- compile SDL_win32_main.c
dmc -I<location of SDL includes> -c -oSDL_main.obj SDL_win32_main.c
SDL_win32_main.c can be found under 'src/main/win32' in the SDL sources archive.
