-Can someone please point me to good XS documentation! +Migrating Sol's Tutorial of SDL to SDL_Perl

-A poor man begs,
A troubled man prays,
who shall answer?




This is the first time perldoc has disappointed me. The example on perlxs is wrong and fails. I do not wish to flame writers of perlxs but please check that your examples work! Ironically I know that broken tutorials is a problem with SDL perl too.

If anyone can point me to the simplest working exaple of XS with a c struct, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sol's Tutorials


+

When I was struggling with SDL C a while ago, someone recommended Sol's Tutorial to me. It had not only help me understand video in SDL, but I believe my code has improved using Sol's code style. I would like to pass these along to fellow SDL_Perl users too. So here is the Ch 02 code of Sol's Tutorial in SDL_Perl. It will be getting more and more Perly as our team hacks on it. There is more to come!
+


+

To use this code you need the new Redesigned SDL_Perl Library


+

Getting SDL Dependencies


+Only If you are on Linux (debian/ubuntu) you need the following dependencies:
+
+
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsmpeg-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev 

+On Windows we recommend using Strawberry Perl. It comes with SDL-1.2.13 header files and libs included.
+
+Both Windows and Linux needs to install Alien::SDL
+
+
$ cpan Alien::SDL
** Add sudo to this for Linux
+
+

Getting Bleeding SDL


+The bleeding SDL is on github. Click download on this site .
+
+Extract it and cd into the folder run
+
$ cpan . 
** The dot is needed
+** in Linux you may need to do sudo
+
+Then you can run this script by doing
+
+
$ perl examples/sols/ch02.pl 
+
