Re: Set-up SDL on Mac OSX without Xcode

Right, I understand. Xcode and the developer tools are installed, but I am not sure how to install SDL for use with a different environment. Based on the various discussions of Stackoverflow and the information I have, I don't quite understand what the procedure is.

I know that the binaries are here:

https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

The basic instructions are here:

https://wiki.libsdl.org/Installation#Mac_OS_X

... which I don't quite understand.

Compiling on Linux would require the following instruction:


Code:
    gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c `sdl2-config --cflags --libs` 



But that is unlikely to work immediately on mac.

This command from my post above seems to use the mac-specific cocoa, which is not desirable assuming this will keep the application mac-only:


Code:
g++ Main.cpp -o main -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers -framework SDL2 -framework Cocoa



In short I am a little confused by the many ways to install the library and am not sure what I need to do so I can start using the library outside of the IDE provided with Xcode.

Would you (or someone) who might know more about installation on Mac OSX please clarify the instructions? Thanks again.
