SDL2 Testing env

Hi,

I’m interested on doing some simple SDL2 testing, but I don’t wan’t to
install the library system-wide with --prefix=/usr

What dev environment are you using? How can I create some testing
environment on my home?

Thanks,–

From the latest HG, SDL2 no longer overwrites SDL 1.2.x, so it is safe to
install it globally. If not, you could set prefix to ~/.usr or somesuch if
that interests you. You’ll also find that sdl-config in SDL2 is
sdl2-config, so there won’t be any conflict there, and if you build a
library against SDL2 (like SDL_ttf), the prefix changes to SDL2_ttf, so you
shouldn’t have conflicts there either.

Of course, it’s always possible to not install it and direct your paths to
your SDL2 build directory.
