Hello,
I need SDL 1.2 for building the open source OpenXCom project and I'd
like to do this in 64-bits, trying to link dynamically to SDL so anybody
could use my build with the 64-bits "SDL.dll" downloaded from libsdl.org.
For 32-bits building, the files provided by libsdl.org for MinGW
building are fine. But they provide nothing for 64-bits building with
MinGW. The 64-bits DLL which is fine for dynamic linking, but you also
need to link statically with the small module SDLmain, and they provide
no 64-bits libSDLmain.a, only a MSVC's SDLmain.lib which I was
completely unable to use with MinGW.
The sources are provided, but all I can use to build them is either a
MSVC's project file or scripts for linux building. I expected I could
use MSYS2 to build SDL with the scripts for linux but I read in the
wiki: "Use |msys2| shell for running |pacman|, |makepkg|,
|makepkg-mingw| and for building POSIX-dependent software that you don't
intend to distribute. Use |mingw| shells for building native software
and other tasks."
Does that mean I cannot use MSYS2 to build a libSDLmain.a who will be
usable without using MSYS2? I must confess I am a bit confused.
Regards,
Julien Darthenay
