You might want to check out SDL.

Here are some details from its readme file.

The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL for short) is a cross-platfrom library
designed to make it easy to write multi-media software, such as games and
emulators.

The Simple DirectMedia Layer library source code is available from:
http://www.libsdl.org/

This library is distributed under the terms of the GNU LGPL license:

I've tested SDL 1.2.5 and it works well with Dev-C++/MinGW and Visual C++.

Best Regards,
Yeoh
