Compiling

Prerequisites

• Make sure the project path involves only printable ASCII characters. To be safe, space is not allowed.
  • On platforms with good native UTF-8 support, it may run in directories with special characters, but it's not tested.
  • As things become complex and tricky when SDL's UTF-8 and multibyte character encodings coexist, keeping it simple is much more important.
• Install the libraries so that you can compile with some command like gcc some.c -llua51 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf -lSDL2. The tested versions are listed below.
  • LuaJIT 2.0.5
  • SDL2 2.0.8
  • SDL2_image 2.0.3
  • SDL2_ttf 2.0.14
• Prepare a TrueType font in the project root directory called ‘fon0.ttf’.

For all platforms

• Compile everything.cpp with the required libraries linked as usual.
• The following sections contains platform-specific notes.

Windows

• MinGW-w64 GCC is the only tested compiler.
• You need to link with -lSDL2main in addition to the linker command above.

*nix

• GCC 7.3 is not going to work
• You need clang with -std=gnu++11
• clang everything.cpp sdl2-config --cflags --libs pkg-config --cflags --libs luajit SDL2_image SDL2_ttf -o shiny -std=gnu++11
• And something in lua will get wrong probably
