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.
