Installing SDL_bgi on macOS

The easiest way to install SDL_bgi requires the Terminal, the clang compiler, the Homebrew package manager, and the SDL2 library. Full Xcode is not needed.

  • open the Terminal and type clang. If it's missing, you'll be prompted to install it, as part of Xcode's Command Line Tools.

  • go to https://brew.sh and install Homebrew using the provided command. It will take a few minutes.

  • type brew install SDL2 to install the SDL2 library.

  • optional: unless you are prepared to use vim to edit your programs, install a text editor of your liking. See list of available options at https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/

You're now ready to compile SDL_bgi.

Compiling from sources

To compile and install SDL_bgi, start Terminal and run the following commands:

% VERSION=2.5.1
% tar xvf SDL_bgi-$VERSION.tar
% cd SDL_bgi-$VERSION/src
% make
% make install

Files will be installed in these directories:

SDL_bgi.h      ->  /usr/local/include/SDL2/
graphics.h     ->  /usr/local/include/
libSDL_bgi.so  ->  /usr/local/lib/

To uninstall:

% make uninstall

Test Programs

Once SDL_bgi is installed, you can compile some test programs you can find in the test/ directory. Type:

% cd test && make

Please see the using.md file in the doc/ directory.

Enjoy!
