Setting up MinGW64 for Windows Development

Requirement - 7zip

  1. Download:

  2. Unzip using 7zip into a temporary folder, you may have to unzip multiple times.

  3. Move the mingw64 folder to a more permanent location such as C:\mingw64

  4. Add the /bin folder inside this folder to your PATH. So if you placed MinGW64 in C:\mingw64 then you would add C:\mingw64\bin to your system environment's PATH variable.

Setting up SDL2 in Xcode for Mac Development

Setting up VSCode for Windows

  1. Download and install VSCode from here
  2. Open VSCode and install the C/C++ extension by Microsoft
  3. Open the project folder in VSCode (the root folder for this repo)
  4. Make the following changes to the files inside .vscode: (assuming you are using the file locations mentioned above)

c_cpp_properties.json

Replace the following line:

"compilerPath": "F:/libraries/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe",

with:

"compilerPath": "C:/mingw64/bin/gcc.exe",

launch.json

Replace the following line:

"miDebuggerPath": "F:/libraries/mingw64/bin/gdb.exe",

With:

"miDebuggerPath": "C:/mingw64/bin/gdb.exe",

If everything has gone well you should be able to build and run the project with Terminal > Run Build Task. A window should appear for a few seconds if it has worked.
