-Why I will be sticking to CPAN +New build system! Needs testing!

-
sculpted in clay,
then fired to glass.


Recently there was really long discussion on sdl-devel@perl.org about providing packages for SDL perl rather than focusing on CPAN releases. The gists of the argument was that SDL perl should be making platform specific packages for end users. I agree with this idea but I do have to face the truth.

The truth is there are very few developers currently working on SDL Perl. The truth is CPAN provides several tools that which currently drives development for SDL Perl. There are people interested in packaging SDL Perl (kmx, jean and Jerome Quelin). The truth is there are other very critical areas we can focus on.

If there are people looking to package SDL Perl for their platform please contact us at sdl-devel@perl.org.

kmx++ recently worked on a brand new Build system for Alien::SDL and SDL_perl. We have managed to test it in Windows and Linux environments. We would still appreciate testing on all environments. However none of us have a shiny Mac to try this on. So if you have a Mac please consider testing the following:

Thank you very much!
