Failed to run test.js

[Suhail]

I get this error:

digit@mighty-dev MINGW64 ~/Desktop/workspace/node-sdl2 (master)
$ node test/test.js
C:\Users\digit\Desktop\workspace\node-sdl2\node_modules\ffi\lib\dynamic_library.js:74
    throw new Error('Dynamic Linking Error: ' + err)

My steps were:

• Clone the repo
• npm install
• node test/test.js

Tested on Windows 10 x64

I am getting these same errors when trying to use this module in my project.

https://github.com/node-ffi/node-ffi/issues/294 It seems that dll is not found.

Leaving a comment in case anyone else finds this via online search: You'll get a linking error if you haven't already installed SDL on your system. This library provides bindings, but you'll have to have SDL installed to use this.
