lib-sokol dynamic libraries

This project builds a single shared library for the sokol headers.

Target:

• sokol (combines sokol_gfx, sokol_app, sokol_audio, sokol_time, sokol_args)

Outputs a platform-specific dynamic library: .dll on Windows, .dylib on macOS, .so on Linux.

Configure

Headers are vendored under third_party/sokol and used by default. You can override with -DSOKOL_DIR=... if desired.

All platforms (choose your preferred generator):

cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build --config Release

Artifacts will be in build/Release/ (MSVC multi-config) or build/ for single-config generators.

Notes

• This follows guidance from floooh/sokol#160 and https://github.com/afterschoolstudio/sokol-dll-builder, defining SOKOL_DLL and compiling a single translation unit per header with SOKOL_IMPL.
• Backends are selected per platform in the stub sources:
  • Windows: D3D11
  • macOS: Metal
  • Linux/Other: GL 3.3 Core
• You can override backends by adding compile definitions on the CMake targets if needed.
• Internally, sokol_app is built with SOKOL_NO_ENTRY and SOKOL_NOAPI to avoid a default entry point and graphics dependency.

Consuming the DLLs

• In your application, include the headers normally and define SOKOL_DLL (but do not define SOKOL_IMPL).
• Link against the single import library produced by this project (e.g., sokol.lib on Windows) and ship the corresponding sokol shared library (sokol.dll/.dylib/.so) alongside your executable.
