Windows (MinGW)

A few steps will be required in order to make all of it work. Follow the guide!

1. Download mingw development libraries from http://www.libsdl.org/ (SDL2-devel-2.0.x-mingw.tar.gz).
2. Unpack to a folder of your choice. (You can delete it afterward.)

1. Copy all lib files from the following path:

     SDL2-devel-2.0.x-mingw\SDL2-2.0.x\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib

Next, copy it to this path:

    C:\Program Files\Rust\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-gnu\lib

Alternately, you can copy to your library folder of choice and ensure that you have a system environment variable as follows:

    LIBRARY_PATH = C:\your\rust\library\folder

For Rustup users, this folder will be at the following location:

      C:\Users\{Your Username}.multirust\toolchains\{current
         toolchain}\lib\rustlib\{current toolchain}\lib

Here, the current toolchain is probably stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu.

1. Copy SDL2.dll from the following:

     SDL2-devel-2.0.x-mingw\SDL2-2.0.x\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin

The copied SDL2.dll is pasted into your cargo project, right next to your Cargo.toml.

1. When you're shipping your game, make sure that you copy SDL2.dll to the same directory that your compiled exe is in; otherwise, the game won't launch.
