Is it possible to static link `libSDL2.a` in windows x64? #126

Closed cpicanco closed 1 year ago

cpicanco commented 1 year ago

Hi, I was trying to static link libSDL2.a, x64, (from SDL2-devel-2.26.5-mingw.zip) and I am getting windows api related undefined symbols. Can you shed some light on this?

I will close this issues because SDL guys discouraged doing static link.
