Windows (MSVC)

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

1. Download MSVC development libraries from http://www.libsdl.org/ SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip.
2. Unpack SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip to a folder of your choice. (You can delete it afterward.)
3. Copy all lib files from the following path:

      SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2-2.0.x\lib\x64\

The lib files will be pasted here:

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

Alternatively, they'll be pasted to your library folder of choice. Ensure that you have a system environment variable with the following:

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

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

1. Copy SDL2.dll from the following code snippet:

      SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2-2.0.x\lib\x64\

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.
