GDK
=====
This port allows SDL applications to run via Microsoft's Game Development Kit (GDK).
Windows (GDK) and Xbox One/Xbox Series (GDKX) are supported. Although most of the Xbox code is included in the public SDL source code, NDA access is required for a small number of source files. If you have access to GDKX, these required Xbox files are posted on the GDK forums [here](https://forums.xboxlive.com/questions/130003/).
Requirements
------------
* Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (in theory, it should also work in 2017 or 2019, but this has not been tested)
* Microsoft GDK June 2022 or newer (public release [here](https://github.com/microsoft/GDK/releases/tag/June_2022))
* To publish a package or successfully authenticate a user, you will need to create an app id/configure services in Partner Center. However, for local testing purposes (without authenticating on Xbox Live), the identifiers used by the GDK test programs in the included solution will work.
Windows GDK Status
------
The Windows GDK port supports the full set of Win32 APIs, renderers, controllers, input devices, etc., as the normal Windows x64 build of SDL.
* Additionally, the GDK port adds the following:
* Compile-time platform detection for SDL programs. The `__GDK__` is `#define`d on every GDK platform, and the `__WINGDK__` is `#define`d on Windows GDK, specifically. (This distinction exists because other GDK platforms support a smaller subset of functionality. This allows you to mark code for "any" GDK separate from Windows GDK.)
* GDK-specific setup:
* Initializing/uninitializing the game runtime, and initializing Xbox Live services
* Creating a global task queue and setting it as the default for the process. When running any async operations, passing in `NULL` as the task queue will make the task get added to the global task queue.
* An implementation on `WinMain` that performs the above GDK setup that you can use by #include'ing SDL_main.h in the source file that includes your standard main() function. If you are unable to do this, you can instead manually call `SDL_RunApp` from your entry point, passing in your `SDL_main` function and `NULL` as the parameters. To use `SDL_RunApp`, `#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED` before `#include <SDL3/SDL_main.h>`.
* Global task queue callbacks are dispatched during `SDL_PumpEvents` (which is also called internally if using `SDL_PollEvent`).
* You can get the handle of the global task queue through `SDL_GDKGetTaskQueue`, if needed. When done with the queue, be sure to use `XTaskQueueCloseHandle` to decrement the reference count (otherwise it will cause a resource leak).
* What doesn't work:
* Compilation with anything other than through the included Visual C++ solution file
## VisualC-GDK Solution
The included `VisualC-GDK/SDL.sln` solution includes the following targets for the Gaming.Desktop.x64 configuration:
* SDL3 (DLL) - This is the typical SDL3.dll, but for Gaming.Desktop.x64.
* tests/testgamecontroller - Standard SDL test program demonstrating controller functionality.
* tests/testgdk - GDK-specific test program that demonstrates using the global task queue to login a user into Xbox Live.
*NOTE*: As of the June 2022 GDK, you cannot test user logins without a valid Title ID and MSAAppId. You will need to manually change the identifiers in the `MicrosoftGame.config` to your valid IDs from Partner Center if you wish to test this.
* tests/testsprite - Standard SDL test program demonstrating sprite drawing functionality.
If you set one of the test programs as a startup project, you can run it directly from Visual Studio.
Windows GDK Setup, Detailed Steps
---------------------
These steps assume you already have a game using SDL that runs on Windows x64 along with a corresponding Visual Studio solution file for the x64 version. If you don't have this, it's easiest to use one of the test program vcxproj files in the `VisualC-GDK` directory as a starting point, though you will still need to do most of the steps below.
### 1. Add a Gaming.Desktop.x64 Configuration ###
In your game's existing Visual Studio Solution, go to Build > Configuration Manager. From the "Active solution platform" drop-down select "New...". From the drop-down list, select Gaming.Desktop.x64 and copy the settings from the x64 configuration.
### 2. Build SDL3 for GDK ###
Open `VisualC-GDK/SDL.sln` in Visual Studio, you need to build the SDL3 target for the Gaming.Desktop.x64 platform (Release is recommended). You will need to copy/keep track of the `SDL3.dll`, `XCurl.dll` (which is output by Gaming.Desktop.x64), and `SDL3.lib` output files for your game project.
*Alternatively*, you could setup your solution file to instead reference the SDL3 project file targets from the SDL source, and add those projects as a dependency. This would mean that SDL3 would be built when your game is built.
### 3. Configuring Project Settings ###
While the Gaming.Desktop.x64 configuration sets most of the required settings, there are some additional items to configure for your game project under the Gaming.Desktop.x64 Configuration:
* Under C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories, make sure the `SDL/include` path is referenced
* Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories, make sure to reference the path where the newly-built SDL3.lib are
* Under Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies, you need the following:
* `SDL3.lib`
* `xgameruntime.lib`
* `../Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.lib`
* Note that in general, the GDK libraries depend on the MSVC C/C++ runtime, so there is no way to remove this dependency from a GDK program that links against GDK.
### 4. Setting up SDL_main ###
Rather than using your own implementation of `WinMain`, it's recommended that you instead `#include <SDL3/SDL_main.h>` and declare a standard main function. If you are unable to do this, you can instead manually call `SDL_RunApp` from your entry point, passing in your `SDL_main` function and `NULL` as the parameters; in that case `#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED` before including SDL_main.h
### 5. Required DLLs ###
The game will not launch in the debugger unless required DLLs are included in the directory that contains the game's .exe file. You need to make sure that the following files are copied into the directory:
* Your SDL3.dll
* "$(Console_GRDKExtLibRoot)Xbox.Services.API.C\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Lib\Release\Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.dll"
* XCurl.dll
You can either copy these in a post-build step, or you can add the dlls into the project and set its Configuration Properties > General > Item type to "Copy file," which will also copy them into the output directory.
### 6. Setting up MicrosoftGame.config ###
You can copy `VisualC-GDK/tests/testgdk/MicrosoftGame.config` and use that as a starting point in your project. Minimally, you will want to change the Executable Name attribute, the DefaultDisplayName, and the Description.
This file must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file. As with the DLLs, you can either use a post-build step or the "Copy file" item type.
For basic testing, you do not need to change anything else in `MicrosoftGame.config`. However, if you want to test any Xbox Live services (such as logging in users) _or_ publish a package, you will need to setup a Game app on Partner Center.
Then, you need to set the following values to the values from Partner Center:
* Identity tag - Name and Publisher attributes
* TitleId
* MSAAppId
### 7. Adding Required Logos
Several logo PNG files are required to be able to launch the game, even from the debugger. You can use the sample logos provided in `VisualC-GDK/logos`. As with the other files, they must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file.
### 8. Copying any Data Files ###
When debugging GDK games, there is no way to specify a working directory. Therefore, any required game data must also be copied into the output directory, likely in a post-build step.
### 9. Build and Run from Visual Studio ###
At this point, you should be able to build and run your game from the Visual Studio Debugger. If you get any linker errors, make sure you double-check that you referenced all the required libs.
If you are testing Xbox Live functionality, it's likely you will need to change to the Sandbox for your title. To do this:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. Switch the sandbox name with:
`XblPCSandbox SANDBOX.#`
3. (To switch back to the retail sandbox):
`XblPCSandbox RETAIL`
### 10. Packaging and Installing Locally
You can use one of the test program's `PackageLayout.xml` as a starting point. Minimally, you will need to change the exe to the correct name and also reference any required game data. As with the other data files, it's easiest if you have this copy to the output directory, although it's not a requirement as you can specify relative paths to files.
To create the package:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. `cd` to the directory containing the `PackageLayout.xml` with the correct paths (if you use the local path as in the sample package layout, this would be from your .exe output directory)
3. `mkdir Package` to create an output directory
4. To package the file into the `Package` directory, use:
`makepkg pack /f PackageLayout.xml /lt /d . /nogameos /pc /pd Package`
5. To install the package, use:
`wdapp install PACKAGENAME.msixvc`
6. Once the package is installed, you can run it from the start menu.
7. As with when running from Visual Studio, if you need to test any Xbox Live functionality you must switch to the correct sandbox.
Troubleshooting
---------------
#### Xbox Live Login does not work
As of June 2022 GDK, you must have a valid Title Id and MSAAppId in order to test Xbox Live functionality such as user login. Make sure these are set correctly in the `MicrosoftGame.config`. This means that even testgdk will not let you login without setting these properties to valid values.
Furthermore, confirm that your PC is set to the correct sandbox.
#### "The current user has already installed an unpackaged version of this app. A packaged version cannot replace this." error when installing
Prior to June 2022 GDK, running from the Visual Studio debugger would still locally register the app (and it would appear on the start menu). To fix this, you have to uninstall it (it's simplest to right click on it from the start menu to uninstall it).

### 3. Configuring Project Settings ###
While the Gaming.Desktop.x64 configuration sets most of the required settings, there are some additional items to configure for your game project under the Gaming.Desktop.x64 Configuration:
* Under C/C++ > General > Additional Include Directories, make sure the `SDL/include` path is referenced
* Under Linker > General > Additional Library Directories, make sure to reference the path where the newly-built SDL3.lib are
* Under Linker > Input > Additional Dependencies, you need the following:
* `SDL3.lib`
* `xgameruntime.lib`
* `../Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.lib`
* Note that in general, the GDK libraries depend on the MSVC C/C++ runtime, so there is no way to remove this dependency from a GDK program that links against GDK.
### 4. Setting up SDL_main ###
Rather than using your own implementation of `WinMain`, it's recommended that you instead `#include <SDL3/SDL_main.h>` and declare a standard main function. If you are unable to do this, you can instead manually call `SDL_RunApp` from your entry point, passing in your `SDL_main` function and `NULL` as the parameters; in that case `#define SDL_MAIN_HANDLED` before including SDL_main.h
### 5. Required DLLs ###
The game will not launch in the debugger unless required DLLs are included in the directory that contains the game's .exe file. You need to make sure that the following files are copied into the directory:
* Your SDL3.dll
* "$(Console_GRDKExtLibRoot)Xbox.Services.API.C\DesignTime\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Lib\Release\Microsoft.Xbox.Services.141.GDK.C.Thunks.dll"
* XCurl.dll
You can either copy these in a post-build step, or you can add the dlls into the project and set its Configuration Properties > General > Item type to "Copy file," which will also copy them into the output directory.
### 6. Setting up MicrosoftGame.config ###
You can copy `VisualC-GDK/tests/testgdk/MicrosoftGame.config` and use that as a starting point in your project. Minimally, you will want to change the Executable Name attribute, the DefaultDisplayName, and the Description.
This file must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file. As with the DLLs, you can either use a post-build step or the "Copy file" item type.
For basic testing, you do not need to change anything else in `MicrosoftGame.config`. However, if you want to test any Xbox Live services (such as logging in users) _or_ publish a package, you will need to setup a Game app on Partner Center.
Then, you need to set the following values to the values from Partner Center:
* Identity tag - Name and Publisher attributes
* TitleId
* MSAAppId
### 7. Adding Required Logos
Several logo PNG files are required to be able to launch the game, even from the debugger. You can use the sample logos provided in `VisualC-GDK/logos`. As with the other files, they must be copied into the same directory as the game's .exe file.
### 8. Copying any Data Files ###
When debugging GDK games, there is no way to specify a working directory. Therefore, any required game data must also be copied into the output directory, likely in a post-build step.
### 9. Build and Run from Visual Studio ###
At this point, you should be able to build and run your game from the Visual Studio Debugger. If you get any linker errors, make sure you double-check that you referenced all the required libs.
If you are testing Xbox Live functionality, it's likely you will need to change to the Sandbox for your title. To do this:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. Switch the sandbox name with:
`XblPCSandbox SANDBOX.#`
3. (To switch back to the retail sandbox):
`XblPCSandbox RETAIL`
### 10. Packaging and Installing Locally
You can use one of the test program's `PackageLayout.xml` as a starting point. Minimally, you will need to change the exe to the correct name and also reference any required game data. As with the other data files, it's easiest if you have this copy to the output directory, although it's not a requirement as you can specify relative paths to files.
To create the package:
1. Run "Desktop VS 2022 Gaming Command Prompt" from the Start Menu
2. `cd` to the directory containing the `PackageLayout.xml` with the correct paths (if you use the local path as in the sample package layout, this would be from your .exe output directory)
3. `mkdir Package` to create an output directory
4. To package the file into the `Package` directory, use:
`makepkg pack /f PackageLayout.xml /lt /d . /nogameos /pc /pd Package`
5. To install the package, use:
`wdapp install PACKAGENAME.msixvc`
6. Once the package is installed, you can run it from the start menu.
7. As with when running from Visual Studio, if you need to test any Xbox Live functionality you must switch to the correct sandbox.
Troubleshooting
---------------
#### Xbox Live Login does not work
As of June 2022 GDK, you must have a valid Title Id and MSAAppId in order to test Xbox Live functionality such as user login. Make sure these are set correctly in the `MicrosoftGame.config`. This means that even testgdk will not let you login without setting these properties to valid values.
Furthermore, confirm that your PC is set to the correct sandbox.
#### "The current user has already installed an unpackaged version of this app. A packaged version cannot replace this." error when installing
Prior to June 2022 GDK, running from the Visual Studio debugger would still locally register the app (and it would appear on the start menu). To fix this, you have to uninstall it (it's simplest to right click on it from the start menu to uninstall it).

The SDL.xcodeproj file now includes a target to build SDL3.xcframework. An xcframework is a new (Xcode 11) uber-framework which can handle any combination of processor type and target OS platform.
In the past, iOS devices were always an ARM variant processor, and the simulator was always i386 or x86_64, and thus libraries could be combined into a single framework for both simulator and device. With the introduction of the Apple Silicon ARM-based machines, regular frameworks would collide as CPU type was no longer sufficient to differentiate the platform. So Apple created the new xcframework library package.

However, unlike in SDL2, in SDL3 SDL_main is implemented inline in SDL_main.h, so you don't need to link against a static libSDL3main.lib, and you don't need to copy a .c file from the SDL3 source either.
This means that iOS apps which used the statically-linked libSDL3.lib and now link with the xcframwork can just `#include <SDL3/SDL_main.h>` in the source file that contains their standard `int main(int argc; char *argv[])` function to get a header-only SDL_main implementation that calls the `SDL_RunApp()` with your standard main function.
Using an xcFramework is similar to using a regular framework. However, issues have been seen with the build system not seeing the headers in the xcFramework. To remedy this, add the path to the xcFramework in your app's target ==> Build Settings ==> Framework Search Paths and mark it recursive (this is critical). Also critical is to remove "*.framework" from Build Settings ==> Sub-Directories to Exclude in Recursive Searches. Clean the build folder, and on your next build the build system should be able to see any of these in your code, as expected:

By default SDL will only link against glibc, the rest of the features will be
enabled dynamically at runtime depending on the available features on the target
system. So, for example if you built SDL with XRandR support and the target
system does not have the XRandR libraries installed, it will be disabled
at runtime, and you won't get a missing library error, at least with the
default configuration parameters.
Build Dependencies

NOTES:

should want to use anyhow).
- libsamplerate0-dev lets SDL optionally link to libresamplerate at runtime
for higher-quality audio resampling. SDL will work without it if the library
is missing, so it's safe to build in support even if the end user doesn't
have this library installed.
Joystick does not work
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you compiled or are using a version of SDL with udev support (and you should!)
there's a few issues that may cause SDL to fail to detect your joystick. To
debug this, start by installing the evtest utility. On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install evtest
Then run:
sudo evtest
You'll hopefully see your joystick listed along with a name like "/dev/input/eventXX"
Now run:
cat /dev/input/event/XX
If you get a permission error, you need to set a udev rule to change the mode of
your device (see below)
Also, try:
sudo udevadm info --query=all --name=input/eventXX
If you see a line stating ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK=1, great, if you don't see it,
you need to set up an udev rule to force this variable.
A combined rule for the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals to fix both issues looks
like:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0763", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0764", ATTRS{idVendor}=="06a3", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"
You can set up similar rules for your device by changing the values listed in
idProduct and idVendor. To obtain these values, try:
sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idVendor
sudo udevadm info -a --name=input/eventXX | grep idProduct
If multiple values come up for each of these, the one you want is the first one of each.
On other systems which ship with an older udev (such as CentOS), you may need
to set up a rule such as:
SUBSYSTEM=="input", ENV{ID_CLASS}=="joystick", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

RISC OS
=======
Requirements:
* RISC OS 3.5 or later.
* [SharedUnixLibrary](http://www.riscos.info/packages/LibraryDetails.html#SharedUnixLibraryarm).
* [DigitalRenderer](http://www.riscos.info/packages/LibraryDetails.html#DRendererarm), for audio support.
* [Iconv](http://www.netsurf-browser.org/projects/iconv/), for `SDL_iconv` and related functions.
Compiling:
----------
Currently, SDL for RISC OS only supports compiling with GCCSDK under Linux.
The following commands can be used to build SDL for RISC OS using CMake:
cmake -Bbuild-riscos -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV/toolchain-riscos.cmake -DRISCOS=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_ENV -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build-riscos
cmake --install build-riscos
When using GCCSDK 4.7.4 release 6 or earlier versions, the builtin atomic functions are broken, meaning it's currently necessary to compile with `-DSDL_GCC_ATOMICS=OFF` using CMake. Newer versions of GCCSDK don't have this problem.
Current level of implementation
-------------------------------
The video driver currently provides full screen video support with keyboard and mouse input. Windowed mode is not yet supported, but is planned in the future. Only software rendering is supported.
The filesystem APIs return either Unix-style paths or RISC OS-style paths based on the value of the `__riscosify_control` symbol, as is standard for UnixLib functions.
The audio, loadso, thread and timer APIs are currently provided by UnixLib.
The joystick, locale and power APIs are not yet implemented.

# Versioning
## Since 2.23.0
SDL follows an "odd/even" versioning policy, similar to GLib, GTK, Flatpak
and older versions of the Linux kernel:
* The major version (first part) increases when backwards compatibility
is broken, which will happen infrequently.
* If the minor version (second part) is divisible by 2
(for example 2.24.x, 2.26.x), this indicates a version of SDL that
is believed to be stable and suitable for production use.
* In stable releases, the patchlevel or micro version (third part)
indicates bugfix releases. Bugfix releases should not add or
remove ABI, so the ".0" release (for example 2.24.0) should be
forwards-compatible with all the bugfix releases from the
same cycle (for example 2.24.1).
* The minor version increases when new API or ABI is added, or when
other significant changes are made. Newer minor versions are
backwards-compatible, but not fully forwards-compatible.
For example, programs built against SDL 2.24.x should work fine
with SDL 2.26.x, but programs built against SDL 2.26.x will not
necessarily work with 2.24.x.
* If the minor version (second part) is not divisible by 2
(for example 2.23.x, 2.25.x), this indicates a development prerelease
of SDL that is not suitable for stable software distributions.
Use with caution.
* The patchlevel or micro version (third part) increases with
each prerelease.
* Each prerelease might add new API and/or ABI.
* Prereleases are backwards-compatible with older stable branches.
For example, 2.25.x will be backwards-compatible with 2.24.x.
* Prereleases are not guaranteed to be backwards-compatible with
each other. For example, new API or ABI added in 2.25.1
might be removed or changed in 2.25.2.
If this would be a problem for you, please do not use prereleases.
* Only upgrade to a prerelease if you can guarantee that you will
promptly upgrade to the stable release that follows it.
For example, do not upgrade to 2.23.x unless you will be able to
upgrade to 2.24.0 when it becomes available.
* Software distributions that have a freeze policy (in particular Linux
distributions with a release cycle, such as Debian and Fedora)
should usually only package stable releases, and not prereleases.
## Before 2.23.0
Older versions of SDL followed a similar policy, but instead of the
odd/even rule applying to the minor version, it applied to the patchlevel
(micro version, third part). For example, 2.0.22 was a stable release
and 2.0.21 was a prerelease.

Using SDL with Microsoft Visual C++
===================================
### by Lion Kimbro with additions by James Turk
You can either use the precompiled libraries from the [SDL](https://www.libsdl.org/download.php) web site, or you can build SDL
yourself.
### Building SDL
0. To build SDL, your machine must, at a minimum, have the DirectX9.0c SDK installed. It may or may not be retrievable from
the [Microsoft](https://www.microsoft.com) website, so you might need to locate it [online](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=directx9.0c+sdk+download&t=h_&ia=web).
_Editor's note: I've been able to successfully build SDL using Visual Studio 2019 **without** the DX9.0c SDK_
1. Open the Visual Studio solution file at `./VisualC/SDL.sln`.
2. Your IDE will likely prompt you to upgrade this solution file to whatever later version of the IDE you're using. In the `Retarget Projects` dialog,
all of the affected project files should be checked allowing you to use the latest `Windows SDK Version` you have installed, along with
the `Platform Toolset`.
If you choose *NOT* to upgrade to use the latest `Windows SDK Version` or `Platform Toolset`, then you'll need the `Visual Studio 2010 Platform Toolset`.
3. Build the `.dll` and `.lib` files by right clicking on each project in turn (Projects are listed in the _Workspace_
panel in the _FileView_ tab), and selecting `Build`.
You may get a few warnings, but you should not get any errors.
Later, we will refer to the following `.lib` and `.dll` files that have just been generated:
- `./VisualC/Win32/Debug/SDL3.dll` or `./VisualC/Win32/Release/SDL3.dll`
- `./VisualC/Win32/Debug/SDL3.lib` or `./VisualC/Win32/Release/SDL3.lib`
_Note for the `x64` versions, just replace `Win32` in the path with `x64`_
### Creating a Project with SDL
- Create a project as a `Win32 Application`.
- Create a C++ file for your project.
- Set the C runtime to `Multi-threaded DLL` in the menu:
`Project|Settings|C/C++ tab|Code Generation|Runtime Library `.
- Add the SDL `include` directory to your list of includes in the menu:
`Project|Settings|C/C++ tab|Preprocessor|Additional include directories `
*VC7 Specific: Instead of doing this, I find it easier to add the
include and library directories to the list that VC7 keeps. Do this by
selecting Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Directories and under the "Show
Directories For:" dropbox select "Include Files", and click the "New
Directory Icon" and add the [SDLROOT]\\include directory (e.g. If you
installed to c:\\SDL\\ add c:\\SDL\\include). Proceed to change the
dropbox selection to "Library Files" and add [SDLROOT]\\lib.*
The "include directory" I am referring to is the `./include` folder.
Now we're going to use the files that we had created earlier in the *Build SDL* step.
Copy the following file into your Project directory:
- `SDL3.dll`
Add the following file to your project (It is not necessary to copy it to your project directory):
- `SDL3.lib`
To add them to your project, right click on your project, and select
`Add files to project`.
**Instead of adding the files to your project, it is more desirable to add them to the linker options: Project|Properties|Linker|Command Line
and type the names of the libraries to link with in the "Additional Options:" box. Note: This must be done for each build configuration
(e.g. Release,Debug).**
### Hello SDL
Here's a sample SDL snippet to verify everything is setup in your IDE:
```
#include <SDL3/SDL.h>
#include <SDL3/SDL_main.h> // only include this one in the source file with main()!
int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
const int WIDTH = 640;
const int HEIGHT = 480;
SDL_Window* window = NULL;
SDL_Renderer* renderer = NULL;
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
window = SDL_CreateWindow("Hello SDL", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, WIDTH, HEIGHT, 0);
renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, NULL, SDL_RENDERER_ACCELERATED | SDL_RENDERER_PRESENTVSYNC);
SDL_DestroyRenderer(renderer);
SDL_DestroyWindow(window);
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
```
### That's it!
I hope that this document has helped you get through the most difficult part of using the SDL: installing it.
Suggestions for improvements should be posted to the [Github Issues](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues).

# Windows
## LLVM and Intel C++ compiler support
SDL will build with the Visual Studio project files with LLVM-based compilers, such as the Intel oneAPI C++
compiler, but you'll have to manually add the "-msse3" command line option
to at least the SDL_audiocvt.c source file, and possibly others. This may
not be necessary if you build SDL with CMake instead of the included Visual
Studio solution.
Details are here: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5186
## OpenGL ES 2.x support
SDL has support for OpenGL ES 2.x under Windows via two alternative
implementations.
The most straightforward method consists in running your app in a system with
a graphic card paired with a relatively recent (as of November of 2013) driver
which supports the WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. Vendors known
to ship said extension on Windows currently include nVidia and Intel.
The other method involves using the
[ANGLE library](https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/). If an OpenGL ES 2.x
context is requested and no WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension is
found, SDL will try to load the libEGL.dll library provided by ANGLE.
To obtain the ANGLE binaries, you can either compile from source from
https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle or copy the relevant binaries
from a recent Chrome/Chromium install for Windows. The files you need are:
- libEGL.dll
- libGLESv2.dll
- d3dcompiler_46.dll (supports Windows Vista or later, better shader
compiler) *or* d3dcompiler_43.dll (supports Windows XP or later)
If you compile ANGLE from source, you can configure it so it does not need the
d3dcompiler_* DLL at all (for details on this, see their documentation).
However, by default SDL will try to preload the d3dcompiler_46.dll to
comply with ANGLE's requirements. If you wish SDL to preload
d3dcompiler_43.dll (to support Windows XP) or to skip this step at all, you
can use the SDL_HINT_VIDEO_WIN_D3DCOMPILER hint (see SDL_hints.h for more
details).
Known Bugs:
- SDL_GL_SetSwapInterval is currently a no op when using ANGLE. It appears
that there's a bug in the library which prevents the window contents from
refreshing if this is set to anything other than the default value.
## Vulkan Surface Support
Support for creating Vulkan surfaces is configured on by default. To disable
it change the value of `SDL_VIDEO_VULKAN` to 0 in `SDL_config_windows.h`. You
must install the [Vulkan SDK](https://www.lunarg.com/vulkan-sdk/) in order to
use Vulkan graphics in your application.
# Windows
## LLVM and Intel C++ compiler support
SDL will build with the Visual Studio project files with LLVM-based compilers, such as the Intel oneAPI C++
compiler, but you'll have to manually add the "-msse3" command line option
to at least the SDL_audiocvt.c source file, and possibly others. This may
not be necessary if you build SDL with CMake instead of the included Visual
Studio solution.
Details are here: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5186
## OpenGL ES 2.x support
SDL has support for OpenGL ES 2.x under Windows via two alternative
implementations.
The most straightforward method consists in running your app in a system with
a graphic card paired with a relatively recent (as of November of 2013) driver
which supports the WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension. Vendors known
to ship said extension on Windows currently include nVidia and Intel.
The other method involves using the
[ANGLE library](https://code.google.com/p/angleproject/). If an OpenGL ES 2.x
context is requested and no WGL_EXT_create_context_es2_profile extension is
found, SDL will try to load the libEGL.dll library provided by ANGLE.
To obtain the ANGLE binaries, you can either compile from source from
https://chromium.googlesource.com/angle/angle or copy the relevant binaries
from a recent Chrome/Chromium install for Windows. The files you need are:
- libEGL.dll
- libGLESv2.dll
- d3dcompiler_46.dll (supports Windows Vista or later, better shader
compiler) *or* d3dcompiler_43.dll (supports Windows XP or later)
If you compile ANGLE from source, you can configure it so it does not need the
d3dcompiler_* DLL at all (for details on this, see their documentation).
