3 | What's New in 2.1.2: |
4 | |
5 | SDL_Perl-2.1.2 is a bug patch release that fixed a number of memory |
6 | leaks in blitting code, handles glGet queries, and some Build fixes. |
7 | For full details check the CHANGELOG file. |

9 | Prerequisites: |
10 | |
11 | SDL Perl recommends installing the following libraries available |
12 | from http://www.libsdl.org/ prior to installing: |
13 | |
14 | SDL-1.2.6 |
15 | smpeg-0.4.4 |
16 | SDL_image-1.2.2 |
17 | SDL_gfx-2.0.3 |
18 | SDL_mixer-1.2.5 |
19 | SDL_net-1.2.4 |
20 | SDL_ttf-2.0.5 |
21 | |
22 | Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed: |
23 | |
24 | Module-Build-0.22 |
25 | Test-Simple-0.47 |
26 | |
27 | Installation: |
28 | |
29 | perl Build.PL |
30 | ./Build |
31 | ./Build test |
32 | ./Build install |
33 | |
34 | The build process will use the new Module::Build facility |
35 | to autodetect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If |
36 | the build fails please forward bugs to sdl-devel@perl.org. |
37 | |
38 | Documentation: |
39 | |
40 | Each module now includes its own documentation, and |
41 | is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials, |
42 | code, and tips can be found at the website: |
43 | |
44 | http://sdl.perl.org |
45 | |
46 | Online documentation and tutorials are available through |
47 | perldoc module. |

52 | and anything else that others might find useful, please join |
53 | the mailing list: |

56 | |
57 | This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development, |
58 | both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor. |
59 | |
60 | I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and |
61 | helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that |
62 | keeps projects like this going. |
63 | |
64 | Enjoy, |
