libtcod HOWTO 1: checking out and compiling on Windows

[sonfromheaven]

I have a list of window handles to top level windows and I want to shift them around so they are arranged in the z-order of my choosing. I started off by iterating the list (with the window I want to end up on top last), calling SetForegroundWindow on each one. This seemed to work some of the time but not always, improving a little when I paused slightly in between each call.

Is there a better way to do this?

@sonfromheaven If you are having libtcod-related questions, especially if they are strictly programming-oriented, you're better off posting your question at libtcod forums :)

@mingos777 Brother, its an assignment given to me, i forgot to mention the subject name, this is about Microsoft Visual C++ related question. can you help me solving this question.or any suggestion.

@sonfromheaven your question is completely off topic then. Why would you ask here at all??? Try stackoverflow, you can get help there in most cases.

hi, i know this tutorial is a tad old, but i had to copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libstdc++-6.dll to the libtcod folder in order to run sample .exes.

Seeing that is not the case in your video, is there other way around?

@whoknowsyoubetter How odd. Have you tried the -static linker option?
