Are you on lunix? (You're probably on windows) I compile using visual studio, it's free to install. Just download the source and follow the steps to make a project file (Or use jacob1's premade), paste the project into the source folder (One folder up from src) and open it with visual studio)

If your computer has the memory, I recommend installing a Linux dual-boot (I recommebd either Debian or Ubuntu if you're new to linux). The compiler setup is much easier, and it's possible to cross-compile easily.

I have no idea what's wrong here, that really shouldn't happen :|. It's an issue with the compiler and not TPT though. Either try random stuff like reinstalling mingw / use the complicated gui mingw installer / rebooting, or you could follow the visual studio guide instead which is really easy, you only have to download the libraries and then my project file.

Recommending that someone install another operating system just to compile a game is a terrible idea, so many things could go wrong ... -
Yes, I am on windows, and maybe i might try out the visual studios approach you use.
I have tried both reinstalling mingw and I'm not sure what things to check off on the gui installer. *shrug*
I guess I will have to use Visual Studio. Thanks!

If you did want to use the gui thing, you just need to find those packages in the picture. But the command line (if it worked) would be much simpler than trying to navigate that gui. Also it's possible that it would just crash when you want to do the actual compile command anyway. -
Alright. I'm setting up Visual Studio right now though, thank you guys for the help!
