I should say, I put the bindbc library into a subfolder. So
it's like this:
project/bindbc/sdl/bind
The SDL lib files are in the same folder with the source,
primarily because the LIB environment variable was being
ignored by the compiler/linker.
I suggest you create project/lib and drop the SDL libraries there
along with the bindbc-sdl library and pass the path to the
linker. Since you should be using the MS linker (see below), it
expects the /LIBPATH option
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/libpath-additional-libpath?view=vs-2019), which you can add to your dmd commandline as `-L/LIBPATH:lib`. Of course, that's assuming you've got the Microsoft Build Tools installed either independently or as part of a Visual Studio installation. If not, you'll be using the LLVM linker that ships with DMD. I believe in that case it should be `-L-Llib`.
If you really want 32-bit and to statically link with the SDL
import libraries, I strongly recommend you use the -m32mscoff dmd
options (and the corresponding -ax86_mscoff dub option). The SDL
libraries are distributed as COFF, not OMF, so using OPTLINK
would require converting the lib files to OMF first.
