  • mingw-builds-binaries

    MinGW-W64 compiler binaries

  • I've tried the latest MinGW-builds-binaries release, and gcc, g++ and mingw32-make seem to work just fine, I was even able to build a project using SDL2! gdb needed bcrypt.dll, so unfortunately that didn't work.

  • pemsa-sdl

    SDL2 backend for pemsa pico8 runtime

  • Using the above toolchain, I tried building pemsa-sdl next. I failed to get the CMakeLists.txt file to work, so I had to compile it manually using the command line. Seems like there was a function about BSTR conversion missing, so I had to use some code I found on a random SourceForge mailing list. It compiled, but when I tried it to run it, it complained about missing API set DLLs, and at that point I just gave up.

  • TIC-80

    TIC-80 is a fantasy computer for making, playing and sharing tiny games.

  • I tried building pemsa again with TDM-GCC, and compiler couldn't find . I tried TIC-80 next, but SDL2 wasn't able to build because of missing type IDirect[something i don't remember]9Ex, which was supposed to be on d3d9.h but isn't.
