Pygame cannot find include file "sdl.h"

Question

I am trying to create a downloaded Python application on Windows that uses Pygame. I installed Python 2.5 and Pygame 1.7.1. I'm new to Python, but I just tried entering the name of the top-level .py file on the command line of the Windows console. (I am using Win XP Pro.)

This is the message I receive.

C: \ Python25 \ include \ pygame \ pygame.h (68): fatal error C1083: cannot open include file: 'SDL.h': no ​​such file or directory

I thought that Pygame was built on top of the SDL and that a separate SDL installation is not needed. However, I installed SDL 1.2.13 and added the SDL include folder to my% INCLUDE% environment variable. Not lucky yet.

I noticed that C: \ Python25 \ Lib \ site-packages \ pygame contains several SDL * .DLL files, but nowhere in the python tree there is no sdl.h header file. Of course, I could copy the sdl headers to the C: \ Python25 \ include \ pygame folder , but this is a nasty idea.

Does anyone know the right way to tune the situation?

EDIT: Application app "Penguin Machine" pygame .

I tried compilation and got the same errors in my linux box:

It looks like he's trying to compile an extension with a name that needs SDL development headers. surfutils

, libsdl1.2-dev, , . SDL, .

, : SDL Windows ?

, . setup.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.3

from distutils.core       import setup, Extension
from distutils.sysconfig  import get_config_vars

includes = []
includes.extend(get_config_vars('INCLUDEDIR'))
includes.extend(get_config_vars('INCLUDEPY'))
includes.append('/usr/include/SDL')

print 'DBG> include =', includes

setup(name='surfutils',
      version='1.0',
      ext_modules=[Extension(
                    'surfutils', 
                    ['src/surfutils.c'], 
                    include_dirs=includes,
                  )],
     )

9. :

includes.append('/usr/include/SDL')

, SDL, ..:

includes.append(r'C:\mydevelopmentheaders\SDL')
