On downloading, use the _source_ packages, not any prebuilt ones. Once done, create a directory named 'deps' in your pgreloaded source directory and unpack any source package into it. This will give you something like the following structure: ... pgreloaded/deps/SDL-1.2.13/ pgreloaded/deps/zlib-1.2.3/ ... If you have a VC++ installation around, you can use the prebuilt packages, though and follow the steps as mentioned in doc/BuildVC.txt. Afterwards you should disable the SDL_gfx bindings by changing the cfg.py and set WITH_SDL_GFX to False. Alternatively (on Msys) you can disable it by building pgreloaded with 'make -DWITH_SDL_GFX=0'. Regards Marcus
