The proper name of Apple's operating system is "Mac OS X" not "MacOS X", as can bee seen in many places, for example http://www.apple.com/macosx/). This contrasts the naming of the old operating system, which was called "MacOS" and today is often refered to as "MacOS Classic". The attached patches fixes the misuse of the name "MacOS X" in both the SDL12 and sdlweb CVS modules. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : svn%3Ac70aab31-4412-0410-b14c-859654838e24/trunk%401628

Simple DirectMedia Layer
|
|
|
|
(SDL)
|
|
|
|
Version 1.2
|
|
|
|
---
|

http://www.libsdl.org/
|
|
|
|
This is the Simple DirectMedia Layer, a general API that provides low
|
|
level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL,
|
|
and 2D framebuffer across multiple platforms.
|
|
|
|
SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to
|
|
several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML,
|
|
Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Python, and Ruby.
|
|
|
|
The current version supports Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X,
|
|
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code contains
|
|
support for Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64,
|
|
RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2, but these are not officially supported.
|
|
|
|
This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be
|
|
found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL
|
|
freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in
|
|
the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory.
|
|
The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date.
|
|
More documentation is available in HTML format in "./docs/index.html"
|
|
|
|
The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain.
