I'm taking a page from Dolphin's book, and including copies of each
dependency's source code. This combines the ease of use of including
pre-built libraries instead of needing to navigate a package manager
- as is (or was) the case for MSVC - with the portability of using
packages. Granted, this method's more of a jack of all trades,
master of none, since it's *less* user-friendly than prebuilt
packages (compilation times), and you don't get the per-distro
compatibility fixes you'd get from a package manager.
You can still use system libs if you want. In fact, it's still the
default behaviour: compiling the libs manually is just a fallback.
I'll add an option to force-enable this soon, however, since it's a
nicer way to produce static MSYS2 builds than the hackish nightmare
that I was using before. Not to mention, having my own copy of the
sources means I can provide my own fixes and tweaks your package
manager may not. For example, I can combine MSYS2's FreeType
subpixel rendering with vcpkg's fix for SDL2 exporting its symbols
in static builds.
These are test programs for the SDL library:
checkkeys Watch the key events to check the keyboard
loopwave Audio test -- loop playing a WAV file
loopwavequeue Audio test -- loop playing a WAV file with SDL_QueueAudio
testaudioinfo Lists audio device capabilities
testerror Tests multi-threaded error handling
testfile Tests RWops layer
testgl2 A very simple example of using OpenGL with SDL
testiconv Tests international string conversion
testjoystick List joysticks and watch joystick events
testkeys List the available keyboard keys
testloadso Tests the loadable library layer
testlock Hacked up test of multi-threading and locking
testmultiaudio Tests using several audio devices
testoverlay2 Tests the overlay flickering/scaling during playback.
testplatform Tests types, endianness and cpu capabilities
testsem Tests SDL's semaphore implementation
testshape Tests shaped windows
testsprite2 Example of fast sprite movement on the screen
testthread Hacked up test of multi-threading
testtimer Test the timer facilities
testver Check the version and dynamic loading and endianness
testwm2 Test window manager -- title, icon, events
torturethread Simple test for thread creation/destruction
controllermap Useful to generate Game Controller API compatible maps
