+MinGW requires both the MinGW system and MSYS.

+

+There is a script for generating a series of GNU makefiles targeted

+at MinGW on Windows. These makefiles will build the SDL library and

+test executables with static links to libgcc and the same features

+as the Visual Studio builds. That is, they have full OpenGL support

+and they have no dependency on MinGW.

+

+After generating the scripts, simply navigate to the directory in

+a MSYS terminal and execute:

+

+    make

+

+If you wish to clean the directory, you can use either the clean

+batch file, or call:

+

+    make clean

+

+The former will remove the actual makefiles and the latter will

+perform a typical clean operation. You can target specific

+build configurations as such:

+

+    make config=debug

+

+Verbosity is initially set to off. All verbosity controls is

+whether the resulting gcc and ar commands are printed to the

+console. You can enable verbose output by setting verbose to any

+value:

+

+    make verbose=1

+

+There is currently no install target, but that is intended

+eventually.

+

+Ben:

+There is no DirectX support currently, but you can use the

+command option '--directx' when generating the makefiles to

+explicitly force the DirectX dependency on. This may have

+undefined behavior, so use it cautiously.
