This is a 3D software renderer written from scratch using just sdl2. Mainly this is meant to be a learning project for me and not meant to be some high-performance software raytracer or something. I will be documenting my entire experience in the doc directory.
Make sure you have the libsdl2-dev package installed on your computer.
On different package managers this may be named something else, so just search for sdl2
Download MSVC development libraries from http://www.libsdl.org/ (SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip). Unpack SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC.zip to a folder of your choosing (You can delete it afterwards).
Copy all lib files from
SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2-2.0.x\lib\x64\
to (for Rust 1.6 and above)
C:\Program Files\Rust\lib\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib
or to (for Rust versions 1.5 and below)
C:\Program Files\Rust\bin\rustlib\x86_64-pc-windows-msvc\lib
or to your library folder of choice, and ensure you have a system environment variable of
LIB = C:\your\rust\library\folder
For Rustup users, this folder will be in
C:\Users\{Your Username}\.rustup\toolchains\{current toolchain}\lib\rustlib\{current toolchain}\lib
Where current toolchain is likely stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.
Copy SDL2.dll from
SDL2-devel-2.0.x-VC\SDL2-2.0.x\lib\x64\
to this directory
