-*- mode: org -*-
Guile-SDL2 provides Guile Scheme bindings for the SDL2 C shared
library. The bindings are written in pure Scheme by using Guile's
foreign function interface.
In addition to the SDL2 core library, bindings are also provided for
SDL2_image, SDL2_mixer, and SDL2_ttf.
* Requirements
Guile-SDL2 currently depends on the following packages:
- GNU Guile >= 2.0.9
- SDL2 >= 2.0.0
- GNU Make
- GNU pkg-config
The following packages enable additional features:
- SDL2_image >= 2.0.0
- SDL2_mixer >= 2.0.0
- SDL2_ttf >= 2.0.0
When building from a Git checkout, the following additional packages
are required:
- GNU Autoconf
- GNU Automake
* Installing
Guile-SDL2 uses the standard GNU build system, so installation
requires the usual incantations:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./configure
make
make install
#+END_SRC
To turn off non-core library bindings, the following configure flags
may be used:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./configure --with-libsdl2-image=no \
--with-libsdl2-mixer=no \
--with-libsdl2-ttf=no
#+END_SRC
When building from a Git checkout, the following spell is necessary
before running any of the above commands:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./bootstrap
#+END_SRC
GNU Guix users may install the current development snapshot
described in =guix.scm= with the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix package -f guix.scm
#+END_SRC
To configure the build properly, run the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./configure --with-libsdl2-prefix=$(guix build sdl2) \
--with-libsdl2-image-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-image) \
--with-libsdl2-ttf-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-ttf) \
--with-libsdl2-mixer-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-mixer)
#+END_SRC
* Usage
Guile-SDL2 provides modules in the =(sdl2 ...)= namespace, roughly
organized how the SDL2 C header files are organized. See the
=examples= directory for practical examples.
Low-level bindings are available in the =(sdl2 bindings ...)=
namespace, but these are not recommended for normal usage.
Additionally, SDL2 extension library bindings are available in the
following modules:
- SDL2_image: =(sdl2 image)=
- SDL2_mixer: =(sdl2 mixer)=
- SDL2_ttf: =(sdl2 ttf)=
See the =examples= directory for code samples.
* Developing
To build the source code from a Git checkout, run the following:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./bootstrap
./configure
make
#+END_SRC
To start a Guile REPL with a pre-configured load path for using
guile-sdl2, use the =pre-inst-env= script:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./pre-inst-env guile
#+END_SRC
GNU Guix users may create a development environment with all of the
necessary dependencies by running the following command:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
guix environment -l guix.scm
#+END_SRC
In order to configure the proper library locations for Guix-based
builds, the configure script should be invoked like so:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
./configure --with-libsdl2-prefix=$(guix build sdl2) \
--with-libsdl2-image-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-image) \
--with-libsdl2-ttf-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-ttf) \
--with-libsdl2-mixer-prefix=$(guix build sdl2-mixer)
#+END_SRC
* Contact
Bug reports and patches may be sent to <davet@gnu.org>.
The maintainer of this library hangs out in the #guile channel on
irc.freenode.net, so help and general discussion may also be found
there.
