Building for windows

Setting up building environment for windows

1. Download and install wxWidgets from their official website

2. Add the path_to_the_root_of_your_wxWidgets_folder to your system environment variables under the name wxWidgets

3. Download the development packages of

   • SDL2
   • SDL2_image
   • SDL2_ttf
   • SDL2_mixer

   corresponding to your compiler

4. Extract the development package of SDL2 and rename the directory as SDL2

5. Extract the development package of SDL2_image to the same folder and rename it as SDL2_image

6. Extract the development package of SDL2_image to the same folder and rename it as SDL2_ttf

7. Extract the development package of SDL2_mixer to the same folder and rename it as SDL2_mixer

   Now your directory should look like this

   {BaseFolder}
   ├── SDL2
       ├── cmake
       ├── include
       ├── lib
       etc...
   .......
       SDL2_image
       ├── cmake
       ├── include
       ├── lib
       etc...
   ........
       SDL2_ttf
       ├── cmake
       ├── include
       ├── lib
       etc...
   ........
       SDL2_mixer
       ├── cmake
       ├── include
       ├── lib
       etc...
   

8. Add the path_to_the_root_of_your_SDL2_BaseFolder to your system environment variables under the name SDL2
