This project is a starting point to build an SDL Mac app, iOS App or Linux executeable at the moment. It can be used without Xcode and you can use your favourite ide. Netbeans is working very well for me (build&run, Code Assistance,...). The Netbeans project settings are included in this repository. I think Eclipse maybe can be used as well.
It uses a normal Makefile and generates an OS X App bundle with all needed files (Libraries, Resources). Change the Makefiles to your own needs.
Builds a executable app for host os (Linux/macOS at the moment).
make - compile and build app bundle
make run - starts the app
make clean - delete executable and all compiled .o files
TARGET=iOS_Simulator make - compile and build app bundle
TARGET=iOS_Simulator make run - starts the app
TARGET=iOS_Simulator make clean - delete executable and all compiled .o files
Targets: Linux, Darwin, MinGW32, MinGW64, iOS_Device, iOS_Simulator
Only bold targets are used and are "working" at the moment!
- Box2D.framework
- SDL2.framework
- SDL2_image.framework
- SDL2_mixer.framework
- SDL2_net.framework
Due to manual app bundling the compiler links to a wrong (@rpath) relative library location and not to the libraries in the "Frameworks" app bundle folder (@executable_path). This fact needs a little workaround with otool and install_name_tool. See also Notes.md.
Most IDEs don't recognize the OS X Library structure (with subfolders) and can't index the header files correctly. For this reason there are symlinks to the Library header files in the folder "ide_includes". See also Notes.md.
- add code signing for gate keeper?
- support linux/windows as well?
- maybe the use of cmake instead of make would be better ;-)
- no known bugs yet :D
