Trying to build on OSX-10.8.2. libSDL installed using macports.

./configure && make make: *** No rule to make target /usr/local/lib/libSDLmain.a', needed bylibSDLXmain.a'. Stop.

Edited Makefile SDL_PREFIX to match where macports installed it: SDL_PREFIX ?= /usr/local/lib -> SDL_PREFIX ?= /opt/local/lib

make rustc sdl.rc -o libsdl.dummy error: linking with cc failed with code 1 note: cc arguments: -L/usr/local/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib -m64 -o libsdl-34b7eedb9132850-0.2.dylib libsdl.o -L/usr/local/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib -lcore-c3ca5d77d81b46c1-0.6 -L/usr/local/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib -lstd-4782a756585a81-0.6 -L. -lSDLXmain -framework AppKit -framework Foundation -lSDL -dynamiclib -Wl,-install_name,@rpath/libsdl-34b7eedb9132850-0.2.dylib -lrustrt -Wl,-no_compact_unwind -lmorestack -Wl,-rpath,@executable_path/../../../../../usr/local/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib/rustc/x86_64-apple-darwin/lib note: ld: library not found for -lSDL clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This one was a bit tricky as I am not sure what the initial version had tried to do. SDL_GetError() returns a constant char pointer. (char const *) However they are already in bytes. c_str_to_bytes expects a pointer to a c_str as seen here: Rust Source

This version seems safer to me as we do not transmute, and since SDL explicitely states that those strings are fixed in memory this should not segfault.

Better cross-platform support, better accelerated 2d graphics, and improvements to threading:

There's no SDL_main! Well, okay, there is, and it now does what it was always meant to: be a small piece of code that hides the difference between main() and WinMain() on Windows. There's no initialization code in it, and it's completely optional. This means you can use SDL without it taking over your mainline, which is nice for plugins that use SDL, or scripting languages with an SDL module. All the stuff you'd want the 1.2 SDL_main for is now in SDL_Init() where it belongs.

The version 0.3.5 that is uploaded to crates.io is not the latest and it's not compiling with rust version 1.0.0, please upload the latest version. Also it would be nice if there are the tags and releases for the new versions

Simply removing the call to sdl::start in demo/video.rs allows the demo to be compiled, but then it fails when run:

$ ./demo/demo
2013-09-05 15:23:01.713 demo[54886:707] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Error (1000) creating CGSWindow on line 259'
*** First throw call stack:
(
)
libc++abi.dylib: terminate called throwing an exception
Abort trap: 6

I'm not sure this is a related or completely different problem.

I don't think it's necessary to prefix all the key variants with "SDLK" for example. I've experimented with a more "rusty" looking API here: https://github.com/z0w0/rust-sdl/tree/revamp

Another example is the KeyboardEvent structs. If you take a look at how I did it, I just make one KeyEvent variant with a state boolean as to whether it was down or up, instead of both a keydown and keyup variant. I think this works nicely and gets rid of the need for an extra struct.

Secondly, these bindings still needs a lot of work to actually have all the SDL functions mirrored. I'll do my best to add what I can.

Rust removed the PlatformThread spawn mode at mozilla/rust@5d2b8d43729f3c616f0af0125f05e2cab9d0aae4. This breaks sdl/start.rs. I'll see if I can't figure out what replaced it.

Just cloned the master branch of rust this morning.

Getting the following errors on make. I don't know enough about Rust (yet) to fix this myself, so I figured I'd throw it over the wall at you guys.

This is the only way to get audio support in Rust at the moment; the low-level SDL_audio stuff wants to run a callback on a separate thread and that will segfault at the moment. brson's stuff should eventually fix this, but for now the SDL mixer must be used.

Although SDL_WM_GrabInput may affect the way keyboard events are handled, this was done in the mouse module since it's primary use is generally to capture the cursor without having to spam SDL_WarpMouse.

Not 100% sure if this is a net positive, but it's one resolution to a handful of compiler errors. Googled a bit and 'finalize' may not be necessary at this point?

It would be nice for development if most structs and enums would provide both Debug and PartialEq. For printing out values and for comparing during tests with assert_eq!. Would you accept a PR adding derive attributes?

In this implementation, clone() does deep copy of surface, resulting in independent duplicated pixel data. Alternatively, it could be done using refcounting (SDL already supports that), but it would be counterintuitive when blitting on the copied surface, or using copy-on-write, but this would be much harder to implement.

Hi, I'm trying to run the demo using the sdl_main.rs approach, but it does not seems to be working. This is the linking error I got:

This is the Rust version I'm using:

rustc 0.11-pre-nightly (a5cd502 2014-04-22 02:06:35 -0700)
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Running the main.rs demo worked fine. Any ideas?

I am getting the following error:

[hammackj@taco:~/Documents/opensource/rust-sdl]$ rustc -L$PWD demo/demo.rc

[hammackj@taco:~/Documents/opensource/rust-sdl]$ 

I am trying to compile the demo. I am using OSX 10.9 with rust from brew. I am a bit new to rust, so I am not exactly sure what is needed to fix this.

Any tips/thoughts would be great. Thanks
