# Windows
## LLVM and Intel C++ compiler support
SDL will build with the Visual Studio project files with LLVM-based compilers, such as the Intel oneAPI C++
compiler, but you'll have to manually add the "-msse3" command line option
to at least the SDL_audiocvt.c source file, and possibly others. This may
not be necessary if you build SDL with CMake instead of the included Visual
Studio solution.
Details are here: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5186
## OpenGL ES 2.x support
SDL has support for OpenGL ES 2.x under Windows via two alternative
implementations.
The most straightforward method consists in running your app in a system with
a graphic card paired with a relatively recent (as of November of 2013) driver
which supports the WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. Vendors known
to ship said extension on Windows currently include nVidia and Intel.
The other method involves using the
[ANGLE library](https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/). If an OpenGL ES 2.x
context is requested and no WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension is
found, SDL will try to load the libEGL.dll library provided by ANGLE.
To obtain the ANGLE binaries, you can either compile from source from
https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle or copy the relevant binaries
from a recent Chrome/Chromium install for Windows. The files you need are:
- libEGL.dll
- libGLESv2.dll
- d3dcompiler_46.dll (supports Windows Vista or later, better shader
compiler) *or* d3dcompiler_43.dll (supports Windows XP or later)
If you compile ANGLE from source, you can configure it so it does not need the
d3dcompiler_* DLL at all (for details on this, see their documentation).
However, by default SDL will try to preload the d3dcompiler_46.dll to
comply with ANGLE's requirements. If you wish SDL to preload
d3dcompiler_43.dll (to support Windows XP) or to skip this step at all, you
can use the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WIN_D3DCOMPILER hint (see SDL_hints.h for more
details).
Known Bugs:
- SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval is currently a no op when using ANGLE. It appears
that there's a bug in the library which prevents the window contents from
refreshing if this is set to anything other than the default value.
## Vulkan Surface Support
Support for creating Vulkan surfaces is configured on by default. To disable
it change the value of `SDL_VIDEO_VULKAN` to 0 in `SDL_config_windows.h`. You
must install the [Vulkan SDK](https://www.lunarg.com/vulkan-sdk/) in order to
use Vulkan graphics in your application.
