# Using this package
This package contains SDL built for the mingw-w64 toolchain.
The files for 32-bit architecture are in i686-w64-mingw32
The files for 64-bit architecture are in x86_64-w64-mingw32
You can install them to another location, just type `make` for help.
To use this package, point your include path at _arch_/include and your library path at _arch_/lib, link with the SDL3 library and copy _arch_/bin/SDL3.dll next to your executable.
e.g.
```sh
gcc -o hello.exe hello.c -Ix86_64-w64-mingw32/include -Lx86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -lSDL3
cp x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/SDL3.dll .
./hello.exe
```
