 === SDL ===
-SDL is already provided in compiled development archives, so we can skip the compilation step for it
+Unzip the SDL archive in a folder, open MSYS, go to the SDL folder and issue these commands to compile and install the library:
-This can be found from [https://www.libsdl.org here], going to the latest stable download and choosing the Development Libraries - MinGW 32/64-bit option.
+ ./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw
+ make
+ make install
-After extracting the contents of this archive in a folder, copy all the files in the 'include/SDL' folder to MinGW's include folder, copy all the files in the 'lib' folder to MinGW's lib folder and copy all the files in the 'bin' folder to MinGW's bin folder.
+It may be necessary to modify the bin/sdl-config and lib/pkgconfig/sdl.pc files  (located under the mingw directory) which are just text. These files provide the compiler option information to ScummmVM and SDL is passing the -mwindows compiler option by default which will result in a valid executable, but with broken console / command-line output. These should be removed or replaced by -mconsole (though this will affect all SDL compiled binaries made by the MinGW toolchain). ScummVM's configure script should deal automatically with this issue in future as the upstream SDL project has indicated that removing this "forced" option is a WONTFIX issue.

+Note the README [http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/README.txt here], especially the need to include the DirectX development headers from [http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/common/directx-devel.tar.gz here] to ensure that the "dsound" rather than the "waveout" / "winmm" fallback audio driver is used.
-If you do wish to recompile SDL from source code, please note the following:
-* Check that the libSDL source file src/main/win32/version.rc contains the correct version. This was incorrectly listed as v1.2.14 for the v1.2.15 release, needed an additional patch.
-* Note the README [http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/mingw32/README.txt here], especially the need to include the DirectX development header and libraries from [http://www.libsdl.org/extras/win32/common/directx-devel.tar.gz here] to ensure that the "dsound" rather than the "waveout" / "winmm" fallback audio driver is used.
