| CMake build system for SDL (www.cmake.org) |
| ================================================================================ |
| |
| SDL's build system was traditionally based on autotools. Over time, this |
| approach has suffered from several issues across the different supported |
| platforms. |
| To solve these problems, a new build system based on CMake is under development. |
| It works in parallel to the legacy system, so users can experiment with it |
| without complication. |
| While still experimental, the build system should be usable on the following |
| platforms: |
| |
| * FreeBSD |
| * Linux |
| * VS.NET 2010 |
| * MinGW and Msys |
| * OS X with support for XCode |
| |
| ================================================================================ |
| Usage |
| ================================================================================ |
| |
| Assuming the source for SDL is located at ~/sdl |
| |
| cd ~ |
| mkdir build |
| cd build |
| cmake ../sdl |
| |
| This will build the static and dynamic versions of SDL in the ~/build directory. |
