Adapted from http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/
The tutorial requires that SDL2, SDL2 Image, and SDL2 TTF are installed before running the examples.
Mac OS X requires each library to be downloaded and copied to $HOME/Library/Frameworks or /Library/Frameworks.
| Library Name | Download Link |
|---|---|
| SDL2 | https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php |
| SDL2 Image | https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image |
| SDL2 TTF | https://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf |
Running the tutorials will cause Catalina to report that the framework cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified. The workaround for this problem is the following:
-
Navigate to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General on the Mac
-
Run repl.sh
-
When the dialog appears about the developer not being verified, click the "Cancel" button.
-
Examine the Security & Privacy screen for a button called "Allow Anyway" for the framework. Click the "Allow Anyway" button with the identified framework.
-
The verification dialog will now appear a second time, but there will be an option to "Open" the framework. Click "Open".
-
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for the different frameworks.
The SDL2 libraries can be installed on a Debian based system with the command below.
apt install libsdl2-2.0 libsdl2-image-2.0 libsdl2-ttf-2.0
A repl.sh script is provided that loads SDL2-TUTORIAL with quicklisp and then starts up a swank thread on port 4005 for repl connections.
1. ./repl.sh
2. (sdl2-tutorial:main #'sdl2-tutorial-1:main)
