Description nathan.carlson8 2016-07-13 19:31:20 UTC 
Using GCC 6.1 on Windows (MinGW), I get the following error building SDL:

[  5%] Building C object vendor/SDL/CMakeFiles/SDL2.dir/src/render/direct3d/SDL_render_d3d.c.obj
In file included from <...>\vendor\sdl\src\video\sdl_egl_c.h:28:0,

 #include <EGL/egl.h>
                     ^
compilation terminated.

It looks like Windows doesn't have EGL headers. I also tried using the one written for visual studio in SDL_egl.h, but it fails with a large number of errors.

I believe I got it to build by turning the following off:
DIRECTX
RENDER_D3D
VIDEO_OPENGLES

Not optimal, but at least it builds

There was a maybe related post on the forum some time ago (but no fix): http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=11642
