Description dakarahun 2013-09-07 08:28:31 UTC 
I was trying to compile SDL2 with Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 and I got the following compile error:

Cannot open include file: 'dxsdkver.h': No such file or directory (SDL_xaudio2.c:35)

As far as I know I do have the DirectX SDK along with the Windows one.

You may need to set the DirectX SDK "Include directory" in the include search path. You can either hard-code this or use an environment variable, e.g. DXSDK_DIR like so: %(DXSDK_DIR)\Include.
Comment 2 Sam Lantinga 2013-09-28 06:41:19 UTC 
CD-i Fan has the correct solution, assuming you have the DirectX SDK installed.

Cheers!
