I'm trying to build Fifechan in Windows but I can't get CMake to cooperate.
If I try MinGW Makefiles it complains that it can't find the RC compiler.
If I pick Visual Studio 9 2008 it gets further but it complains about SDL_image.
I've tried setting the relevant variables but it doesn't seem to work...
I've never used CMake before so I might be doing something stupid.
Any ideas?

To help others fix issues with fifechan:
In general its recommended to use these SDK http://forums.fifengine.net/index.php?topic=571.0, only if there are special reasons you should try to build fifechan on your own.

We should probably add this to the fifechan issue tracker.  Ideally we should be able to compile fifechan with cmake on windows.

I've attached a screenshot showing how to set CMake variables to point to SDL libraries. They're the 5 bottommost ones. You need to check "Advanced" to show them all. After setting them hit "Configure" and it should work.
I didn't have trouble with MinGW this time around. After installing the latest version (with mingw-get) to the default location it was detected automatically by CMake.
