What is the procedure you use to perform the compilation?
brisk rapids
If you're familiar with cmake, this setup will build a few of the SDL libraries and be able to execute/debug things from vs2022; https://github.com/vorlac/cmake-vcpkg-project-template/tree/sdl-example
You just need to have the vs2022 / tooling deps installed before using it(make addon for vs2022, ninja, etc)
valid cypress
Isn't there an easier way of doing this? It seems really complicated
and why do I need Ninja and Cmake

and why do I need Ninja and Cmake
Cmake and ninja are tools for building projects faster than "manually"
valid cypress
do I really need them?
broken kite
no but if you don't know the bases of building processus
it's better to use Cmake
he organize project for you, make the build and debug directory
you need no more than 4 lines of configuration for building your project
basic project
what do you do for the compilation ?
