Installing SDL and FFTW from SOURCE was a song, three
commands for each: ./configure, make, make install.
Given that GNU C is available for windows using MinGW
(sorry, I missed that discussion earlier), I'd say we
have our devtools sorted out. Everything is free, even
the Atmel microcontroller compilers are free.

Understanding just one set of brain waves (yours) in
real time is a challenge, I'm trying to envision
looking at multiples and my brain hurts <g>.

I love Java but I love true open source more. Usually
I program Java on Linux, but there are situations when
it doesn't make sense, and this is one of them.

Jim already has it set up nicely. It's trivial to install
SDL and FFTW. I personally think these should remain as
separate packages, not integrated into OpenEEG. If all
people included support libs there would be a lot of
redundancy and compatibility issues. It's not hard at all
to install these (on linux anyways). Jim mentioned that
he might extract the needed parts from SDL and FFTW, I
think it's not worth the effort and is generally a bad
idea anyways. People may have good reasons to use both
SDL and FFTW for other software. If the OpenEEG stuff
was set up with automake, it would be as simple as
./configure, make, make install to build all three of
these peices.
