Hi,

I am probably just doing something stupid but I have tried to set Visual Studio up to run the 32blit solution but I get a lot of errors.

I have installed the C++ desktop package and downloaded the SDL development library.

Does anyone know what I have missed / done wrong?

Managed to get rid of all those errors by changing build to x86 and adding the SDL directory to the VC++ include directories list for both projects.

Now I have a link error for SDL2.lib in 32blit-SDL.

This was solved by adding the SDL lib directory to the VC++ library directories in the 32blit-sdl project.

Now I can debug the examples! :D
