README for SDL_Perl-2.1.2
What's New in 2.1.2:
SDL_Perl-2.1.2 is a bug patch release that fixed a number of memory
leaks in blitting code, handles glGet queries, and some Build fixes.
For full details check the CHANGELOG file.
Prerequisites:
SDL Perl recommends installing the following libraries available
from
http://www.libsdl.org/ prior to installing:
SDL-1.2.6
smpeg-0.4.4
SDL_image-1.2.2
SDL_gfx-2.0.3
SDL_mixer-1.2.5
SDL_net-1.2.4
SDL_ttf-2.0.5
Additionally the following Perl modules should be installed:
Module-Build-0.22
Test-Simple-0.47
Installation:
perl Build.PL
./Build
./Build test
./Build install
The build process will use the new Module::Build facility
to autodetect and build SDL Perl for your platform. If
the build fails please forward bugs to
[email protected].
Documentation:
Each module now includes its own documentation, and
is accessible through perldoc. Additional tutorials,
code, and tips can be found at the website:
http://sdl.perl.org
Online documentation and tutorials are available through
perldoc module.
Contributing:
Anyone wishing to contribute modules, sprite engines, documentation,
and anything else that others might find useful, please join
the mailing list:
[email protected]
This is a mailing list for those interested in SDLperl development,
both as an applications developer, and as a core contributor.
I am always more than happy to take patches, bug reports, and
helpful suggestions. It is feedback, both good and poor, that
keeps projects like this going.
Enjoy,
