= Special Bits On a Windows Platform

• Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MinGW into c:\mingw
• Download (from http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml) and install MSys-Basic into c:\msys
• If you are running Vista, you need to edit MSys.bat to include the line (check that the version matches yours, and if not, modify the path statement accordingly):

 PATH=c:\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.5;%PATH%

Download Files

• Download SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/index.php (I'm using version 1.2.13)
• Download ZLib from xxx (I'm using version xxx)
• Download QEmu from http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/download.html (I'm using version 0.9.1)

Unpacking Files

• tar -xzf SDL-1.2.13.tar.gz
• tar -xzf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
• tar -xzf qemu-0.9.1.tar.gz

Compiling Library Files

• cd SDL-1.2.13 ; ./configure ; make ; make install ; cd ..
• cd zlib-1.2.3 ; ./configure --prefix=/mingw ; make ; make install ; cd ..

Patching Qemu

• <<reciva patches go here>>

Compiling Qemu

• cd qemu-0.9.1
• mkdir install_dir
• ./configure --static --target-list="arm" --prefix="install_dir" --enable-adlib
• make
• make install
• cp ../SDL-1.2.13/SDL.dll install_dir

Now you must copy SDL.dll to the installation directory. You can do that typing in MSYS (subsitute the right dir):
