<h1>Building SDL with Borland C++ </h1>
|
|
<b> by <a href=mailto:xevol@users.sourceforge.net> David Snopek </a> </b>
|

<br>

|
<br>
|
|
|
|
These instructions cover how to compile SDL and its included test programs using either
|
|
Borland C++ Builder 5 or the free Borland compiler. <br>
|
|
|
|
<h3> <b> Extract the files </b> </h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Unzip the Borland.zip archive into <b>this</b> directory. Do not unzip it into any
|
|
other directory because the makefiles use relative paths to refer to the SDL sources. This
|
|
should create a directory named "Borland" inside of the top level SDL source directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3> <b> Using Borland C++ Builder 5 </b> </h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> Inside of the "Borland" directory there is a "bcb5" directory that contains a number
|
|
of Builder project files. Double-click on the "libSDL.bpg" file icon. Once Builder has
|
|
started click on the "<u>P</u>rojects" menu on the menu-bar and go down to
|
|
"B<u>u</u>ild All Projects" option. This will proceed to build SDL, SDLmain, and all
|
|
the <a href="#tests">test programs</a>. </p>
|
|
|
|
<h3> <b> Using the free Borland compiler </b> </h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> The free Borland compiler can be downloaded at no charge from <a href="http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/"> the
|
|
Borland website </a>. Make sure that it is installed and properly configured. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Open an MS-DOS Prompt. Change to the "Borland\freebcc" directory under the
|
|
SDL source directory. Type "make -f SDL.mak" to build SDL and "make -f
|
|
SDLmain.mak". There are also makefiles for all of the <a href="#tests">test
|
|
programs</a>, if you wish to build them. </p>
|
|
|
|
<h3> <b> Output files </b> </h3>
|
|
|
|
No matter which compiler you used, three important files should have been produced:
|
|
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI> SDL.dll </LI>
|
|
<LI> SDL.lib </LI>
|
|
<LI> SDLmain.lib </LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
Both of the *.lib files will need to be added to all the projects that use SDL and SDL.dll
|
|
must be placed some where the Windows dynamic linker can find it (either in your
|
|
project directory or on the system path, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM).
|
|
|
|
<a name="tests">
|
|
<h3> <b> Test programs </b> </h3>
|
|
</a>
|
|
|
|
Some of the test programs require included media files. Before trying to run any of the
|
|
test programs, copy these media files from the "tests/" directory into the build directory.
