Compiling for windows

Download and install latest MinGW full package (at the time of writing this, the current download is MinGW-5.0.2.exe). Make sure you select the make and g++ (for tiff) options in the installation process.
Download and install latest MSYS (MSYS-1.0.8.exe at time of writing).
Download the current source files listed below and unpack into their own directories within the MSYS mounted structure. The files were current at time of writing (Nad 12:03, 24 Jul 2006 (NZST)):
- SDL: SDL-1.2.11.zip
- ZLib: zlib123.zip
- LibPNG: lpng1212.zip
- LibJPEG: jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz
- ~~LibTIFF: tiff-3.8.2.zip~~ (http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/)
- SDL-Image: SDL_image-1.2.5.zip
First compile SDL, zlib, libJPEG from MSYS shell in the normal way from their own source directories with configure, make and make install.
Then in the libPNG dir, set the path of the zlib includes and libs in the makefile, then do just a a make by itself.
Ensure the libXXX.a's for all the above are in /usr/local/lib or where ever the SDL libs have been compiled to.
