[Install Help]

1. Extract the Zip files into any folder. (Example: c:\EasyWin32)
2. If you have MingW32, run the Install.bat.
1. Install.bat copies the library and header file into the MingW32 lib and include directories.
2. If you don’t have EasyWin32.h in your include directory, or if you don’t have the libeasywin.a in your lib directory go to the next step.
3. If you don’t have MingW32, please copy the files yourself, in this way:
1. libeasywin.a Goes in the lib directory
2. EasyWin32.h Goes in the include directory
3. Create a Directory called EasyWin32 in your include directory (Example: c:\mingw32\include\EasyWin32).
4. Copy ALL the Header Files into the directory you have just created.
5. Copy the GNU License also in that directory, if you want.
