 === NASM ===
-First of all, we need nasm. So unzip the nasm archive in a directory, copy "nasmw.exe" to "nasm.exe" (because some projects call one and others call the other) and include the folder it is stored in into your system path. To do this, go to Control Panel->System, Advanced tab->environment variables and edit the "PATH" variable in the system variables list, adding the folder where you placed the aforementioned files. Directories in the system path are split with a semicolon (;), e.g. "C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin;C:\nasm".

Alternatively, you can just copy both files in MinGW's bin directory, e.g. C:\MinGW\bin as this should be already in your system path
 Changes to the PATH will be reflected on newly opened command prompts only, so if you got any open already, close them to avoid confusion
 === SDL ===
 SDL is already compiled and needs no further changes, so we can skip the compilation step for it
+Copy all the files in SDL's include folder in MinGW's include folder and all the files in SDL's lib folder in MinGW's lib folder

 === libogg ===
-[TODO]
+libogg should be compiled before libvorbis and libFLAC
+To compile it, open MSYS, go to the libFLAC folder and issue these commands:
+ ./configure --disable-shared
+ make
+When everything is compiled, copy the include\ogg folder inside MinGW's include folder. So, you should end up with an ogg folder in MinGW's include folder. Also, copy the src\.libs folder as-is inside MinGW's lib folder, and also copy the files from the src\.libs folder inside MinGW's lib folder (because ogg libraries are searched both in the lib and in the lib\.libs folder)
