Hello!
I tried to build a sample project with Meson, following steps from the official tutorial but it failed showing errors about OpenGLES2 headers which I did not intend to use.
I copy-pasted all the code and the commands, only changing the project name to “t”.
meson.build:
project('t', 'c', default_options: 'default_library=static')
sdl2_dep = dependency('sdl2')
executable(
't',
'main.c',
win_subsystem: 'windows',
dependencies: [sdl2_dep]
)
main.c
#include "SDL2/SDL.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
SDL_Surface *surface;
SDL_Event event;
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) < 0) {
SDL_LogError(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_APPLICATION, "Couldn't initialize SDL: %s", SDL_GetError());
return 3;
}
if (SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer(320, 240, SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE, &window, &renderer)) {
SDL_LogError(SDL_LOG_CATEGORY_APPLICATION, "Couldn't create window and renderer: %s", SDL_GetError());
return 3;
}
while (1) {
SDL_PollEvent(&event);
if (event.type == SDL_QUIT) {
break;
}
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
}
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
The commands:
# Installs SDL v2.0.12 to `subprojects/`
mkdir subprojects
meson wrap install sdl2
# Runs OK (1)
meson setup ./build
# Prints error (2)
meson compile -C ./build
