| 15 | Prerequisites: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | SDL Perl recommends installing the following libraries available |
| 18 | from http://www.libsdl.org/ prior to installing: |
| 19 | |
| 20 | SDL-1.2.8 |
| e504c139 |
21 | |
| 22 | Recommended: |
| 23 | SDL_image |
| 24 | SDL_mixer |
| 25 | SDL_ttf |
| 26 | smpeg |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Optional Libraries: |
| 29 | *SDL_gfx |
| 30 | *SDL_sound |
| 31 | *SDL_net |
| 32 | *SDL_svg |
| 33 | *SDL_vnc |
| bfd90409 |
34 | |
| 35 | Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed: |
| e504c139 |
36 | |
| 37 | Alien-SDL-0.2 |
| bfd90409 |
38 | Module-Build-0.22 |
| 39 | Test-Simple-0.62 |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Installation: |
| 42 | |
| 43 | perl Build.PL |
| 44 | ./Build |
| 45 | ./Build test |
| 8c726daf |
46 | ./Build bundle # MacOS X only! |
| bfd90409 |
47 | ./Build install |
| 48 | |
| e504c139 |
49 | Installation with Windows (Strawberry) : |
| 1e93f803 |
50 | |
| 1e93f803 |
51 | perl Build.PL |
| 52 | ./Build |
| 53 | ./Build test |
| 54 | ./Build install |
| 55 | |
| 56 | |
| bfd90409 |
57 | The build process will use the new Module::Build facility |
| 1e93f803 |
58 | to auto detect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If |
| bfd90409 |
59 | the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org. |
| 60 | |
| 8c726daf |
61 | For MacOS X users there is a new experimental bundle, |
| 62 | that is called SDLPerl.app. You can use this bundle |
| 63 | to run perl scripts with a .spl extension, you know, |
| 64 | SDL Perl files. We will work on brining this style |
| 65 | launcher and an integrated development environment to |
| 66 | all platforms shortly. |
| 67 | |

68 | Documentation: |
| 69 | |
| 70 | Each module now includes its own documentation, and |
| 71 | is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials, |
| 72 | code, and tips can be found at the website: |
| 73 | |
| 74 | http://sdl.perl.org |

| 76 | Online documentation and tutorials are available through |
| 77 | perldoc module. |

| 81 | Anyone wishing to contribute modules, sprite engines, documentation, |
| 82 | and anything else that others might find useful, please join |
| 83 | the mailing list: |
| 84 | |
| 85 | sdl-devel@perl.org |
| 86 | |
| 87 | This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development, |
| 88 | both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and |
| 91 | helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that |
| 92 | keeps projects like this going. |
