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.

The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL for short) is a cross-platform
|
|
library designed to make it easy to write multi-media software,
|
|
such as games and emulators.
|
|
|
|
The Simple DirectMedia Layer library source code is available from:
|
|
http://www.libsdl.org/
|
|
|
|
This library is distributed under the terms of the zlib license:

|
|
|
|
This packages contains the SDL framework for OS X.
|
|
Conforming with Apple guidelines, this framework
|
|
contains both the SDL runtime component and development header files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To Install:
|

|
You may alternatively install it in <Your home directory>/Library/Frameworks
|
|
if your access privileges are not high enough.

Though these are OpenSceneGraph centric, the same exact concepts apply to
|
|
SDL, thus the videos are recommended for everybody getting started with
|
|
developing on Mac OS X. (You can skim over the PlugIns stuff since SDL
|
|
doesn't have any PlugIns to worry about.)
