I've never used a package manager before so the entire process of 
using one is still strange to me. When using SDL2 with C, I have 
all of the SDL2 files within my MinGW install. To compile I use 
'gcc example.c -lmingw32 -lSDL2 -lSDL2main'. Could I use a method 
similar to that?

     Also here is the full (but not verbose) error log:
