To compile and install SDL:

1. Run './configure; make; make install'

If you are cross-compiling from Linux to Win32, you should read

the file README.Win32

If you are compiling using Visual C++ on Win32, you should read

the file VisualC.html

2. Look at the example programs in ./test, and check out the HTML

documentation in ./docs to see how to use the SDL library.

3. Join the SDL developer mailing list by sending E-mail to

majordomo@lokigames.com

and including the line "subscribe sdl" in the body.

That's it!
