| 2 Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with Mac OS X | |
| 3 ============================================================================== | |
| 4 | |
| 5 These instructions are for people using Apple's Mac OS X (pronounced | |
| 6 "ten"). | |
| 7 | |
| 8 From the developer's point of view, OS X is a sort of hybrid Mac and | |
| 9 Unix system, and you have the option of using either traditional | |
| 10 command line tools or Apple's IDE ProjectBuilder (PB). | |
| 11 | |
| 12 To build using the command line, use the standard configure and make | |
| 13 process: | |
| 14 | |
| 15 ./configure | |
| 16 make | |
| 17 make install | |
| 18 | |
| 19 (You may need to create the subdirs of /usr/local manually.) | |
| 20 | |
| 21 For some reason, libtool doesn't run ranlib properly, so do this | |
| 22 manually: | |
| 23 | |
| 24 ranlib /usr/local/lib/libSDL.a | |
| 25 | |
| 26 To use the library once it's built, you need to use the "Carbon | |
| 27 framework", which is the port of the old Mac Toolbox to OS X. | |
| 28 To do this, use the -F and -framework arguments for compiling | |
| 29 and linking, respectively: | |
| 30 | |
| 31 cc -c myprog.c -I/usr/local/include/SDL -F/System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework | |
| 32 cc myprog.o -L/usr/local/lib -lSDL -framework Carbon | |
| 33 | |
| 34 sdl-config knows about the linking path and -framework, so it's | |
| 35 recommended to use it to fill in your Makefile variables. | |
| 36 | |
