SDL xcode 4 ios

SDL Development
1

Hello everyone I am just trying to get started with using SDL in Xcode4
specifically for the ipad and phone. I am trying to follow
http://cyborgdino.com/2011/04/sdl/#comment-619 but it is for xcode 3.2 and
just really confusing me. Is there any information that is more up to
date? is anyone using xcode 4 with sdl and the ios templates?

2

if you only want to have the framework created:
https://github.com/manifest/sdl-ios-framework (though afair no templates
are included there)

i put the template folder into ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates and I
see it in the Xcode project templates when I create a new project. but the
#include “SDL.h” at the top has an error. I tried “SDL/SDL.h” and
<SDL/SDL.h> they don’t work eitherOn Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 2:56 AM, Aaron NA <@Aaron_NA> wrote:

To use SDL2 on Xcode4 for iOS, I just dragged the needed source files to my project. I’m not exactly sure there is a benefit from making a framework.

is SDL2 different than SDL1.3 ??On Tue, Jun 5, 2012 at 8:17 AM, Trev wrote:

Look at this #$%^& garbage instruction in this README file:

"
Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer for iOS==============================

Here is the easiest method:

  1. Build the SDL libraries (libSDL.a and libSDLSimulator.a) and the iPhone
    SDL Application template.

"

…HOW?

…BUILD THE SDL LIBRARIES??? what are you talking about… that is step 1?
who are you explaining this to? this is a reference for someone who has
done this before. how do you expect someone doing this the first time to
understand this ?

I do understand that building stuff with XCode is hard.
Once in the past, i tried to compile something with XCode
and doing that with a Linux / Windows background is hard.
At least it was hard for me.

Text is insufficient to describe how to compile SDL
with XCode, it would be great if a skilled Mac Developer could
put up some Videos how to do it. The newer Mac OSX versions have
a nice desktop recording feature on board.

Aaron, take a look at the patch and the comments here
http://bugzilla.libsdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1490 (or checkout from my repo
that already has those applied
https://bitbucket.org/gabomdq/sdl-1.3-experimental use the ignifuga branch)

I made that patch that makes it simpler to build SDL for iOS by doing
configure/make (and a file replacement in between as explained in
Bugzilla). You can then throw the generated libSDL2.a and libSDL2main.a and
the headers into your project and that’s about it. It’s not trivial (and
the list is not an IRC room for you to send 10 messages answering to
yourself about the same topic in a few hours), but with a minor dose of
effort it’s doable.–
Gabriel.
