Description Ryan C. Gordon 2019-03-13 19:45:13 UTC 
Most of the sdl12-compat code will work out of the box on Windows, but I probably need to sort out the SDL_main politics.

Comment 1 Rohit Nirmal 2019-03-14 17:13:16 UTC 
A few notes:

1. CloseSDL20Library() for _WINDOWS has an extra open bracket that causes compile errors.
2. On MinGW, _WINDOWS is not defined, causing the #error to trigger.
3. stdio.h needs to be #included for stderr.
4. stdlib.h needs to be #included to avoid an implicit declaration warning for abort().
5. On MinGW, SDL20_CreateMutex and SDL20_CreateSemaphore are undefined for some reason. As a quick fix, I changed them to SDL20_SYM from SDL20_SYM_PASSTHROUGH in SDL20_syms.h and created SDL_CreateMutex and SDL_CreateSemaphore functions in SDL12_compat.c to simply call them.
