Setting up SDL in Windows

Last Updated 2/18/12

An important note for Visual Studio users:

The latest version of SDL for visual studio comes with two sets of library and binary files: x86 for 32bit, x64 for 64bit.

If you're on a 64bit operating system, Visual Studio still compiles in 32bit by default. When you set the library directory, it should point to the x86 folder inside of the lib folder.
