Difference between revisions of "Compiling ScummVM/MinGW"

** You need the latest SDL 1.2 source code revision from Mercurial ([https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/archive/1bffae6992b0.tar.bz2 1bffae6992b0] at the time of writing).

Unzip the SDL archive in a folder, open MSYS, go to the SDL folder and issue these commands to compile and install the library:

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=/mingw

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.
