Hello timewarps1 and welcome to the monastery,

did you tried to install SDL on your own and set the env. variable SDL_INST_DIR ?

i read in the doc that the Alien module should try thing in order and maybe is not able to find something to downolad and build for windows.

I'm very interested: please share your progresses (which game? I'm interested in this too ;)

PS in a positive installation test I see: 

# Build option used:
#     Binaries Win/32bit SDL-1.2.14 (extended, 20100704) RECOMMENDED
#     (gfx, image, mixer, net, smpeg, ttf, sound, svg, rtf, Pango)
# URL:
#     http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/sdl/Win32_SDL-1.2.14-exten
+ded-bin_20100704.zip

[download]

perhaps a good choice to have it installed correctly
