simpleSDL

A simple crossplatform libSDL cmake build environment example/test. This is still somewhat work in progress and is missing support for iOS builds.

Tested to build and run successfully with:

• Android: gradle + cmake
• Windows: mingw-w64
• Windows: Visual Studio 2015
• Linux (Ubuntu): GCC
• Mac: (Just building a simple executable, no bundle)
• Emscripten

Building on Android

You need to have NDK and cmake plugins installed on Android SDK (https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/add-native-code.html)

1. Copy/clone SDL to the contrib/ directory

2. run gradlew assemble in platforms/android

   or

   Open the project in Android Studio and build using the IDE. NOTE: Make sure to open the platforms/android/ dir. Android studio can also open the root dir but it's not recognized as an android project.

The included android gradle cmake project is pretty much what Android Studio generates when you create a new empty app with native cmake support. Just pointing to the CmakeLists.txt in the project root.

NOTE:

Currently the SDL2 Android Java code is included in this project. This is not a very good system as it easily leads to the SDL Java and native code being out of sync (i.e. code from different versions of SDL). You should replace the Java sources from the version of SDL you are using to make sure they are from the same version.

Todo

• Nicer way to include SDL in an android project. A missing android feature is needed to include prebuilt native library with headers in a .aar package.
• iOS build
• Add instructions how to build on all platforms
