+Using SDL with Microsoft Visual C++

+===================================

+

+### by Lion Kimbro with additions by James Turk

+

+You can either use the precompiled libraries from the [SDL](https://www.libsdl.org/download.php) web site, or you can build SDL

+yourself.

+

+### Building SDL

+

+0. To build SDL, your machine must, at a minimum, have the DirectX9.0c SDK installed. It may or may not be retrievable from

+the [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com) website, so you might need to locate it [online](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=directx9.0c+sdk+download&t=h_&ia=web).

+_Editor's note: I've been able to successfully build SDL using Visual Studio 2019 **without** the DX9.0c SDK_

+

+1. Open the Visual Studio solution file at `./VisualC/SDL.sln`.

+

+2. Your IDE will likely prompt you to upgrade this solution file to whatever later version of the IDE you're using. In the `Retarget Projects` dialog,

+all of the affected project files should be checked allowing you to use the latest `Windows SDK Version` you have installed, along with

+the `Platform Toolset`.

+

+If you choose *NOT* to upgrade to use the latest `Windows SDK Version` or `Platform Toolset`, then you'll need the `Visual Studio 2010 Platform Toolset`.

+

+3. Build the `.dll` and `.lib` files by right clicking on each project in turn (Projects are listed in the _Workspace_

+panel in the _FileView_ tab), and selecting `Build`.

+

+You may get a few warnings, but you should not get any errors.

+

+Later, we will refer to the following `.lib` and `.dll` files that have just been generated:

+

+-   `./VisualC/Win32/Debug/SDL2.dll` or `./VisualC/Win32/Release/SDL2.dll`

+-   `./VisualC/Win32/Debug/SDL2.lib` or `./VisualC/Win32/Release/SDL2.lib`

+-   `./VisualC/Win32/Debug/SDL2main.lib` or `./VisualC/Win32/Release/SDL2main.lib`

+

+_Note for the `x64` versions, just replace `Win32` in the path with `x64`_

+

+### Creating a Project with SDL

+

+- Create a project as a `Win32 Application`.

+

+- Create a C++ file for your project.

+

+- Set the C runtime to `Multi-threaded DLL` in the menu:

+`Project|Settings|C/C++                  tab|Code Generation|Runtime Library `.

+

+- Add the SDL `include` directory to your list of includes in the menu:

+`Project|Settings|C/C++ tab|Preprocessor|Additional include directories `

+

+*VC7 Specific: Instead of doing this, I find it easier to add the

+include and library directories to the list that VC7 keeps. Do this by

+selecting Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories and under the "Show

+Directories For:" dropbox select "Include Files", and click the "New

+Directory Icon" and add the [SDLROOT]\\include directory (e.g. If you

+installed to c:\\SDL\\ add c:\\SDL\\include). Proceed to change the

+dropbox selection to "Library Files" and add [SDLROOT]\\lib.*

+

+The "include directory" I am referring to is the `./include` folder.

+

+Now we're going to use the files that we had created earlier in the *Build SDL* step.

+

+Copy the following file into your Project directory:

+

+-   `SDL2.dll`

+

+Add the following files to your project (It is not necessary to copy them to your project directory):

+

+-   `SDL2.lib`

+-   `SDL2main.lib`

+

+To add them to your project, right click on your project, and select

+`Add files to project`.

+

+**Instead of adding the files to your project, it is more desirable to add them to the linker options: Project|Properties|Linker|Command Line

+and type the names of the libraries to link with in the "Additional Options:" box. Note: This must be done for each build configuration

+(e.g. Release,Debug).**

+

+### Hello SDL2

+

+Here's a sample SDL snippet to verify everything is setup in your IDE:

+

+```

+    #include "SDL.h"

+

+    int main( int argc, char* argv[] )

+    {

+        const int WIDTH = 640;

+        const int HEIGHT = 480;

+        SDL_Window* window = NULL;

+        SDL_Renderer* renderer = NULL;

+

+        SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

+        window = SDL_CreateWindow("SDL2 Test", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, WIDTH, HEIGHT, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN);

+        renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);

+

+        SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);

+        SDL_DestroyWindow(window);

+        SDL_Quit();

+        return 0;

+    }

+ ```

+

+### That's it!

+

+I hope that this document has helped you get through the most difficult part of using the SDL: installing it.

+Suggestions for improvements should be posted to the [Github Issues](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues).
