I am hoping this changes. I know that <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39476">Alias</a> is interested in this too. <br /><br />Here are steps needed to solve this:<br /><ol><li>Find out exactly what gcc flags are needed to make this work with strawberry's toolchain</li><li>Get the deps <a href="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/sdlperl-deps.tar.bz2">here</a>. Put the deps in C:/strawberry/c.</li><li> Try to make a Module::Build script work for win32 and win64 (There are differences apparently) </li><li>Try and emulate this in our current build system ( <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/22a6ead04e0d03fda8060d73c6f66cac2c49eae6/make/lib/SDL/Build.pm">make/lib/Build.pm</a>, and <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/22a6ead04e0d03fda8060d73c6f66cac2c49eae6/make/lib/SDL/Build/MSWin32.pm">make/lib/Build/Win32.pm</a> )</li><li>Give me a shout on <a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=SDL_Perl">RT</a> or <a href="mailto:mailto:sdl-devel@perl.org">sdl-devel@perl.org</a> ( even if you just make it to 3.)</li><li> Enjoy SDL and lots of ++ from Alias, CSJewell and SDL_perl devs. <br /></li></ol><sarcasm> There easy as pie </sarcasm><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-2619755134262449430?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div></div>

After some late night hacking I finally came up with Alias's <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39476">suggestion</a> to have Alien::SDL. All thanks to Alias's generous access to his <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39318">windows farm</a>, I was able to make a easier module to install SDL deps on windows. Future plans are in place to get sources and compile them for other platform.Hopefully a SDL perl release will be out soon to use Alien::SDL now.<br /><br /><br />The above script is in test/testsprite.pl. <br /><br />Until then you can do:<br /><blockquote><br />in cpan<br />cpan><b> install File::Fetch</b><br />cpan> <b>install Archive::Extract</b><br />cpan> <b>install Alien::SDL</b><br /><br />and in cmd <br /><b>pip http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/SDL_Perl-v2.2.2.tar.gz</b></blockquote><br /><br />Please post any feedback here.<br /><br />Enjoy,<br /><i>yapgh</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-8996898299982319327?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div></div></div>
