Get what you need

DevC at http://bloodshed.net/devcpp.html Use check for updates/packages in the tools menu and select everything to do with SDL. Use SDL 1.2.8 devpak, zlib 1.2.2, SDL_image 1.2.4, and libpng 1.2.8. Then find libpng12.dll somewhere on the interwebs and use that.. libpng13.dll comes with the png package but eon.exe will ask for libpng12.dll.

Then get the SDL_Net binaries at http://devpaks.org/details.php?devpak=116 Download and install them with the DevC package manager. This is not the latest library on the devpaks website, theres something funny with the latest one being package manager version 3 when DevC only uses version 2.. *confused*, so make sure you get sdl_net 1.2.5.

I had problems getting DevCpp working properly with all the sdl parts. I had to fiddle around with it for ages till I got it sorted out. Basically I had the latest SDL which at this time is 1.2.9 and SDL_Image tells you it needs 1.2.8 So I uninstalled SDL 1.2.9 and installed 1.2.8 and It worked. The debugger told me that libpng12 had some kind of problem when i tried to execute eon-sdlgui using SDL 1.2.9 It was extremely frustrating because of the very uninformative nature of the problem. Anyway get exactly those versions of the binaries for DevCpp above and it *should* work. If not let me know. Ill update this page at some stage if someone comes up with updated libs that work together. --AstroBoi 00:00, 2 Apr 2006 (EST)
