DESCRIPTION

12       This document describes OS specific informations regading the
13       installation and use of SDL.
14
15   General (all OS)
16       You need to install Alien::SDL to acquire all prerequisites of SDL.
17
18       On Windows, Alien::SDL will get you zip-files containing prebuilt libs.
19
20       On Unixes you can choose between compiling libs or use libs provided by
21       the dist.  The different options on Unixes are availale when
22       requirements are met. Like having specific libs installed.
23
24       There is some additional documentation in the Github-Wiki
25       <https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL/wiki/Testing>.  You definitively
26       want to look there, if you want to know how to install SDL from the
27       latest sources (e.g. in an unfinished, unreleased state).
28

Windows

30   Installation
31       We recommend Strawberry Perl. You can get it here
32       <http://strawberryperl.com/>.
33
34       Once you installed Strawberry Perl, you can access the cpan shell via
35       the start menu.
36
37       Open up the cpan shell and type "install Alien::SDL SDL". Please follow
38       the dialog and answer the questions to the best of your knowledge.
39

Mac OS X

41   Installation
42       You will need a newer version of Perl that you can install with
43       App::perlbrew.
44
45       Once you have a newer Perl installed please use "cpan" to install
46       Alien::SDL (and of course SDL).
47
48   Using SDL on Mac OS X
49       You can't use the "perl" executable to run SDL scripts on Mac OS X, you
50       need to use "SDLPerl".  When you install SDL, a program named "SDLPerl"
51       is installed. It should be in your path.
52
53       Using Mac OS X, your SDL Perl script have to look like this:
54
55         #!SDLPerl
56
57         use strict;
58         use warnings;
59         use SDL;
60         # your code here ...
61
62       Using the wrong Perl executable, you might encounter a lot of error
63       messages resulting in "terminate called after throwing an instance of
64       'NSException'".  cf. the corresponding github issue
65       <https://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL/issues/208>.
