(or you could use dev-cpp instead of studio becaues they are the same compiler but dev-cpp has an updater to get SDL) ;  intresting point but that really doesn''t help me... ;  How do you link a dll in MinGW? ;  Check the top of Lesson 1 in Cone3d''s SDL tutorials. Also the documentation does have the instructions for setting it up(the doc that comes with the dev package). Those are for setting it up on Dev-C++ and Visual C++. I''m not sure about MingW studio, I''m assuming it will be similar to Dev-C++. ;  thanx. it should be its the same compiler
