Description Andrew Church 2014-03-16 12:16:51 UTC 
When trying to cross-build a Win32 binary from Linux using the MinGW runtime, building fails at #include <SDL.h> because SDL_platform.h requires the nonexistent file <winapifamily.h>.

I haven't tested building natively on Windows, but my MinGW installation there has no "winapifamily.h" so I would expect it to fail in the same way.

This is a regression from SDL 2.0.2.

I'm having the same problem as Andrew is. But for me it only complains about 
winapifamily.h file only ,after I was done installing windows 8 sdk which has the missing file I told codeblocks where it's installed at and still it won't let me compile my projects on windows 7 pro at all 

I've also tried this altered Sdl_platform.h file from

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dm5lto9qlyfc418/SDL_platform.h

and still it doesn't work 

and then it would pop a line that has something to do with visual studio only
when in fact i'm only using codeblocks default gcc mingw32 compiler only
