Here's what I did. I still used the same setup as previously.

my ($sdl_compile_flags, $sdl_link_flags);

if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
       $sdl_compile_flags = qq{-I"$ENV{SDL_INST_DIR}\include\SDL"
-D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -Dmain=SDL_main};
       $sdl_link_flags = qq{-L"$ENV{SDL_INST_DIR}\lib"  -lmingw32 -lSDLmain
-lSDL.dll -mwindows'};
} else {
       $sdl_compile_flags = `sdl-config --cflags`;
       $sdl_link_flags    = `sdl-config --libs`;
       if ($? >> 8)
       {
               die "SDL doesn't appear to be installed.\n" .
                       "Please check that sdl-config is in your path and try
again.\n";
       }
}

(the way I installed it means that SDL_INST_DIR=c:\strawberry\c)

It got as far as:

C:\Documents and
Settings\Curtis\Desktop\kthakore-SDL_perl-acbf8053a89d78a3c601fb0b05fc91461c204294>perl
Build.PL
Environment variable LIBS is empty

after that - which is correct on a system that has no other compilation
environment than Strawberry.

 (Helpful debugging hint:

Carp is in core, so you don't have to install anything extra to use it.
'use Carp;' and then 'croak' instead of 'die' and  'carp' instead of
'warn'.

Then, in a debugging scenario, I can do 'set PERL5OPT=-MCarp=verbose'
and give you a stacktrace when there's a problem.)

%DCL-E-MEM-BAD, bad memory
-VMS-F-PDGERS, pudding between the ears

[I use PC-Alpine, which deliberately does not display colors and pictures in
HTML mail]
