That's okay if it's old! Still MUCH better than 688 Attack Sub or SSN-21!

Where do I install the SDL libraries if I'm going to try to use MinGW C++ to try to compile the source code for version 1.1 of OpenSSN?

Mind you this is the first time I've used any sort of compiler!

I'm running on WinXP!

Thanks!

If you're using mingw c++ you're probably running under cygwin, correct? In that case you wouldn't be using DLLs, you'd be linking against the .so's.

It'd probably be a better idea to take the source and try to compile it under visual studio.

Okay, I'll try to get a copy of Visual Studio C++, would the Express version work okay?

Thanks, Guys!

Express is fine; that's what I used in the port.

Well, It took 4 hours but I got Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express installed! Now I'm going to shut off the computer, catch some ZZZZ's and start looking at the source code closer. Do I still have to install the SDL Libraries to compile the source code?

Later!

Okay, I'm out of it! I had to delete Visual Studio 2010 for C++ and Visual Basic because now my computer wont shut off! Darn! Everytime I go to shutdown the computer it won't stay off. At least it will go into Hibernate (Sleep) mode! Darn Darn Darn! I was trying to help but I can't risk the rest of this computer because all our personal files are on here to the tune of several gigs!

Sorry guys!
