*twitch* Help (Install SDL problems)!

[darkwolf]

I've searched google, the forum, the wiki... and following the instructions I'm still getting an error, files are in the right place but it's just not working... and I don't know what else to try but I'm open to suggestions.  First time I've tried to get a dev env up on windows that wasn't the default ms2k8 vis studio crap and... (o_O) my god and they say Linux is hard?  I've not had 1/100th the trouble there I'm having here (nor on mac...)

I click "Code::Blocks" -> File -> New -> Project -> SDL Project
Project Title: SDLTest
Folder to Create Project In: C:\Users\Darkwolf\Programming\
Project Filename: SDLTest.cbp
Resulting Filename: C:\Users\Darkwolf\Programming\SDLTest\SDLTest.cbp
Next

Please Select SDL's location: $(#sdl)  [ Tried C:\MinGW also, default was is $(#sdl) ]
Next

Script Error
The path you entered seems valid, but this wizard can't locate the following SDL's include file: SDL.h in it.
Ok

Here are some paths that seem relevant from the other tutorials I've read on getting this to work...

EDIT: Code::Blocks is default install, MinGW is default install (with G++ added), and SDL I followed directions on "the good" on wiki.  I've also tried to follow some older suggestions of adding the inc/lib paths to the search paths.  I'm at a loss.

EDIT 2: A simple hello world that is non-sdl compiles fine in c::b

EDIT3: Running Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.

Anyone have any ideas at all?  I'm at a complete loss.

SDL seems to have changes their header policy. Just riight-click on the wizard, select to edit and adjust the header check so it fits your needs.
