+
+ If you are compiling for Windows using gcc, read the FAQ at:
+ http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php?action=listentries&category=4#42
+
+ If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read
+ the file VisualC.html
+
+ 2. Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the online
+ documentation at http://wiki.libsdl.org/
+
+ 3. Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to
+ sdl-request@libsdl.org
