| 10 <h1>Building SDL with Borland C++ </h1> | |
| 11 <b> by <a href=mailto:xevol@users.sourceforge.net> David Snopek </a> </b> | |
| 12 | |
| 13 <br> | |
| 14 <br> | |
| 15 | |
| 16 These instructions cover how to compile SDL and its included test programs using either | |
| 17 Borland C++ Builder 5 or the free Borland compiler. <br> | |
| 18 | |
| 19 <h3> <b> Extract the files </b> </h3> | |
| 20 | |
| 21 <p> Unzip the Borland.zip archive into <b>this</b> directory. Do not unzip it into any | |
| 22 other directory because the makefiles use relative paths to refer to the SDL sources. This | |
| 23 should create a directory named "Borland" inside of the top level SDL source directory. | |
| 24 </p> | |
| 25 | |
| 26 <h3> <b> Using Borland C++ Builder 5 </b> </h3> | |
| 27 | |
| 28 <p> Inside of the "Borland" directory there is a "bcb5" directory that contains a number | |
| 29 of Builder project files. Double-click on the "libSDL.bpg" file icon. Once Builder has | |
| 30 started click on the "<u>P</u>rojects" menu on the menu-bar and go down to | |
| 31 "B<u>u</u>ild All Projects" option. This will proceed to build SDL, SDLmain, and all | |
| 32 the <a href="#tests">test programs</a>. </p> | |
| 33 | |
| 34 <h3> <b> Using the free Borland compiler </b> </h3> | |
| 35 | |
| 36 <p> The free Borland compiler can be downloaded at no charge from <a href="http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/"> the | |
| 37 Borland website </a>. Make sure that it is installed and properly configured. </p> | |
| 38 | |
| 39 <p> Open an MS-DOS Prompt. Change to the "Borland\freebcc" directory under the | |
| 40 SDL source directory. Type "make -f SDL.mak" to build SDL and "make -f | |
| 41 SDLmain.mak". There are also makefiles for all of the <a href="#tests">test | |
| 42 programs</a>, if you wish to build them. </p> | |
| 43 | |
| 44 <h3> <b> Output files </b> </h3> | |
| 45 | |
| 46 No matter which compiler you used, three important files should have been produced: | |
| 47 | |
| 48 <UL> | |
| 49 <LI> SDL.dll </LI> | |
| 50 <LI> SDL.lib </LI> | |
| 51 <LI> SDLmain.lib </LI> | |
| 52 </UL> | |
| 53 | |
| 54 Both of the *.lib files will need to be added to all the projects that use SDL and SDL.dll | |
| 55 must be placed some where the Windows dynamic linker can find it (either in your | |
| 56 project directory or on the system path, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM). | |
| 57 | |
| 58 <a name="tests"> | |
| 59 <h3> <b> Test programs </b> </h3> | |
| 60 </a> | |
| 61 | |
| 62 Some of the test programs require included media files. Before trying to run any of the | |
| 63 test programs, copy these media files from the "tests/" directory into the build directory. | |
