# SDL2 for MACOS
#### It's can be also for C (with small changes)

# Steps
1. Install brew:\
`"/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"`
2. `brew install sdl2`\
`brew install sdl2_image`\
`brew install sdl2_ttf`
3. Open the project file terminal
4. Create project layout: `mkdir -p build/debug include lib src`
5. Finding the location of the sdl2:\
`brew list sdl2`\
`brew list sdl2_image`\
`brew list sdl2_ttf`
6. My location of files:
## SDL2
```
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/bin/sdl2-config
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/include/SDL2/ (78 files)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/lib/cmake/ (2 files)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/lib/pkgconfig/sdl2.pc
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/lib/ (4 other files)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/share/aclocal/sdl2.m4
```
## SDL2_image
```
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/include/SDL2/SDL_image.h
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/lib/libSDL2_image-2.0.0.dylib
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/lib/cmake/ (2 files)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/lib/pkgconfig/SDL2_image.pc
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/lib/ (2 other files)
```
## SDL2_ttf
```
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/include/SDL2/SDL_ttf.h
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/lib/libSDL2_ttf-2.0.0.dylib
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/lib/cmake/ (2 files)
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/lib/pkgconfig/SDL2_ttf.pc
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/lib/ (2 other files)
```
7. Linking sdl2 files:
## SDL2
into include: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/include/SDL2 ./include/SDL2`\
into lib: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2/2.30.0/lib ./lib/SDL2`
## SDL2_image
into include: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/include/SDL2 ./include/SDL2_image`\
into lib: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_image/2.8.2/lib ./lib/SDL2_image`
## SDL2_ttf
into include: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/include/SDL2 ./include/SDL2_ttf`\
into lib: `ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdl2_ttf/2.22.0/lib ./lib/SDL2_ttf`
8. Create main.pp and Makefile:
```
touch src/main.cpp
touch Makefile
```
9. Code for Makefile
```Makefile
SRC_DIR = src
BUILD_DIR = build/debug
CC = g++
SRC_FILES = $(wildcard $(SRC_DIR)/*.cpp)
OBJ_NAME = play
INCLUDE_PATHS = -I include/SDL2 -I include/SDL2_image -I include/SDL2_ttf
LIBRARY_PATHS = -L lib/SDL2 -L lib/SDL2_image -L lib/SDL2_ttf
COMPILER_FLAGS = -std=c++11 -Wall -O0 -g
LINKER_FLAGS = -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf
all:
$(CC) $(COMPILER_FLAGS) $(LINKER_FLAGS) $(INCLUDE_PATHS) $(LIBRARY_PATHS) $(SRC_FILES) -o $(BUILD_DIR)/$(OBJ_NAME)
```
1. Code for main.cpp
````cpp
#include
#include
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, SDL!" << std::endl;
// Initialize SDL
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) {
std::cerr << "SDL_Init Error: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
return 1;
}
// Create a window
SDL_Window* window = SDL_CreateWindow("SDL Window", SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_CENTERED, 640, 480, SDL_WINDOW_SHOWN | SDL_WINDOW_RESIZABLE);
if (window == nullptr) {
std::cerr << "SDL_CreateWindow Error: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
SDL_Quit();
return 1;
}
// Create a renderer
SDL_Renderer* renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
if (renderer == nullptr) {
std::cerr << "SDL_CreateRenderer Error: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 1;
}
SDL_Event e;
bool quit = false;
while (!quit){
while (SDL_PollEvent(&e)){
if (e.type == SDL_QUIT){
quit = true;
}
if (e.type == SDL_KEYDOWN){
quit = true;
}
if (e.type == SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN){
quit = true;
}
}
// Set render color to blue
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 255, 255, 255);
// Clear the window with the render color
SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
// Update the screen
SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
}
// Clean up resources
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
2. Test:\
`make`\
`.\build\debug\play`
# If you have white window on your screen everything is set.
