Download SDL 2.0 source code from http://libsdl.org/ and extract here. Special notes for Windows RT versions: To make the screen shot function work properly, you need to modify the project files within the VisualC-WinRT directory (including SDL-WinPhone81.vcxproj, SDL-WinRT81.vcxproj & SDL-UWP.vcxproj) by manually place the library file 'sdlpal.common.lib' before the 'msvcrt[d].lib'. This work can be done by adding the following LINK options: "sdlpal.common.lib" "vccorlib[d].lib" "msvcrt[d].lib" /NODEFAULTLIB:"vccorlib[d].lib" /NODEFAULTLIB:"msvcrt[d].lib" Note the the optional 'd' postfix is used only in debug builds. This work can also be done through the Visual Studio's GUI.
