     13		<p>
     14			You can either use the precompiled libraries from <A HREF="http://www.libsdl.org/download.php"> the SDL Download web site </A>, or you can build SDL yourself.
     15		</p>
     16		<H3>
     17			Building SDL
     18		</H3>
     19		<P>
     20			Go into the VisualC directory and double-click on the Visual Studio solution for your version of Visual Studio, e.g. <CODE>SDL_VS2008.sln</CODE> This should open up the IDE.
     21		</P>
     22		<P>
     23			There are different solution files for the various
     24			versions of the IDE. Please use the appropiate version
     25			2008, 2010, 2012 or 2013.
     26		</P>
     27		<P>
     28			Build the <CODE>.dll</CODE> and <CODE>.lib</CODE> files.
     29		</P>
     30		<P>
     31			This is done by right clicking on each project in turn (Projects are listed in 
     32			the Workspace panel in the FileView tab), and selecting "Build".
     33		</P>
     34		<P>
     35			You may get a few warnings, but you should not get any errors. You do have to 
     36			have at least the DirectX 9 SDK installed, however. The latest 
     37			version of DirectX can be downloaded from <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com">Microsoft</A>.
     38		</P>
     39		<P>
     40			Later, we will refer to the following .lib and .dll files that have just been 
     41			generated:
     42		</P>
     43		<ul>
     44    <li> SDL2.dll</li>
     45    <li> SDL2.lib</li>
     46    <li> SDL2main.lib</li>
     47    </ul>
     48		<P>
     49			Search for these using the Windows Find (Windows-F) utility inside the VisualC directory.
     50		</P>
     51		<H3>
     52			Creating a Project with SDL
     53		</H3>
     54		<P>
     55			Create a project as a Win32 Application.
     56		</P>
     57		<P>
     58			Create a C++ file for your project.
     59		</P>
     60		<P>
     61			Set the C runtime to "Multi-threaded DLL" in the menu: <CODE>Project|Settings|C/C++ 
     62				tab|Code Generation|Runtime Library </CODE>.
     63		</P>
     64		<P>
     65			Add the SDL <CODE>include</CODE> directory to your list of includes in the 
     66			menu: <CODE>Project|Settings|C/C++ tab|Preprocessor|Additional include directories </CODE>
     67			.
     68			<br>
     69			<STRONG><FONT color="#009900">VC7 Specific: Instead of doing this I find it easier to 
     70					add the include and library directories to the list that VC7 keeps. Do this by 
     71					selecting Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories and under the "Show 
     72					Directories For:" dropbox select "Include Files", and click the "New Directory 
     73					Icon" and add the [SDLROOT]\include directory (e.g. If you installed to 
     74					c:\SDL\ add c:\SDL\include).&nbsp;Proceed to&nbsp;change the 
     75					dropbox selection to "Library Files" and add [SDLROOT]\lib.</FONT></STRONG>
     76		</P>
     77			<P>
     78				The "include directory" I am referring to is the <CODE>include</CODE> folder 
     79				within the main SDL directory (the one that this HTML file located within).
     80			</P>
     81			<P>
     82				Now we're going to use the files that we had created earlier in the Build SDL 
     83				step.
     84			</P>
     85			<P>
     86				Copy the following files into your Project directory:
     87			</P>
     88			<ul>
     89     <li> SDL2.dll</li>
     90     </ul>
     91			<P>
     92				Add the following files to your project (It is not necessary to copy them to 
     93				your project directory):
     94			</P>
     95			<ul>
     96     <li> SDL2.lib </li>
     97     <li> SDL2main.lib</li>
     98     </ul>
     99			<P>
    100				(To add them to your project, right click on your project, and select "Add 
    101				files to project")
    102			</P>
    103		<P><STRONG><FONT color="#009900">Instead of adding the files to your project it is more 
    104					desireable to add them to the linker options: Project|Properties|Linker|Command 
    105					Line and type the names of the libraries to link with in the "Additional 
    106					Options:" box.&nbsp; Note: This must be done&nbsp;for&nbsp;each&nbsp;build 
    107					configuration (e.g. Release,Debug).</FONT></STRONG></P>

    110		</H3>
    111		<P>
    112			Now create the basic body of your project. The body of your program should take 
    113			the following form:
    114			<PRE><CODE>
    115#include "SDL.h"
    116
    117int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
    118{
    119  // Body of the program goes here.
    120  return 0;
    121}
    122			</CODE></PRE>
    123		<P></P>
    124		<H3>
    125			That's it!
    126		</H3>
    127		<P>
    128			I hope that this document has helped you get through the most difficult part of 
    129			using the SDL: installing it. Suggestions for improvements to this document 
    130			should be sent to the writers of this document.
    131		</P>
    132		<P>
    133			Thanks to Paulus Esterhazy (pesterhazy@gmx.net), for the work on VC++ port.
