This repository contains CMake scripts for finding the `SDL2`, `SDL2_image` and
3+
`SDL2_ttf` libraries and headers.
4+
5+
CMake itself comes with corresponding scripts for SDL 1.2, which hopefully in
6+
time will be updated for SDL2 and make this repo redundant. In the mean
7+
time, I'm putting them up here in case anyone else finds them useful.
8+
9+
I've tested them on Linux and Mac OS using the Makefile and XCode targets.
10+
On Linux, you'll need the SDL2 development packages installed from your distro
11+
package manager. On Mac OS you'll need to install the development frameworks
12+
from the SDL website.
13+
14+
##Usage
15+
16+
In order to use these scripts, you first need to tell CMake where to find them, via
17+
the `CMAKE_MODULE_PATH` variable. For example, if you put them in a
18+
subdirectory called `cmake`, then in your root `CMakeLists.txt` add the line
19+
20+
```cmake
21+
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${project_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")
22+
```
23+
24+
where `project` is the name of your project. You can then use the packages
25+
themselves by adding
26+
27+
```cmake
28+
find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED)
29+
find_package(SDL2_Image REQUIRED)
30+
find_package(SDL2_ttf REQUIRED)
31+
32+
include_directories(${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR}
33+
${SDL2_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR}
34+
${SDL2_TTF_INCLUDE_DIR})
35+
target_link_libraries(target ${SDL2_LIBRARY}
36+
${SDL2_IMAGE_LIBRARIES}
37+
${SDL2_TTF_LIBRARIES})
38+
39+
```
40+
41+
or whatever is appropriate for your project.
42+
43+
##Licence
44+
45+
I am not the original author of these scripts. I found `FindSDL2.cmake`
46+
after some Googling, and hacked up the `image` and `ttf` scripts from the
47+
SDL1 versions that come with CMake. The original scripts, and my changes,
48+
are released under the two-clause BSD licence.
49+
50+
##Bugs
51+
52+
These scripts are provided in the hope that you might find them useful. They
53+
work for me and hopefully they'll work for you too. If you fix any
54+
issues with them then I'd appreciate a pull request so other
55+
users can get your fixes too, but that's up to you :-).
