30 | Test-Simple-0.62 |
31 | |
32 | Installation: |
33 | |
34 | perl Build.PL |
35 | ./Build |
36 | ./Build test |

37 | ./Build bundle # MacOS X only! |
bfd90409 |
38 | ./Build install |
39 | |

40 | Installation with Windows + MinGW: |
41 | |
42 | set SDL_INST_DIR=Absolute/Path/to/SDLdir |

45 | ./Build test |

49 | The build process will use the new Module::Build facility |
1e93f803 |
50 | to auto detect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If |
bfd90409 |
51 | the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org. |
52 | |

53 | For MacOS X users there is a new experimental bundle, |
54 | that is called SDLPerl.app. You can use this bundle |
55 | to run perl scripts with a .spl extension, you know, |
56 | SDL Perl files. We will work on brining this style |
57 | launcher and an integrated development environment to |
58 | all platforms shortly. |

74 | and anything else that others might find useful, please join |
75 | the mailing list: |
76 | |

79 | This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development, |
80 | both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor. |
81 | |
82 | I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and |
83 | helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that |
84 | keeps projects like this going. |
