digitalmars.D - SDL with D

reply Oliver <Oliver_member pathlink.com> writes:
Hello !

I installed D on windows. The examples included with D compile and run fine.
However, using the SDL adaption from DeDecated (and the improvement from a
japanese website) all the examples either compile but dont run or dont even
compile. (They seem very old). I am including the proper SDL*.d files and 
use the proper SDL.dll.

Does anybody know if there is an up to date version of SDL for D with working
examples ? 

PS: I compile with dmd -I(path to includes) filename.d
and have the SDL.dll and SDL.lib in the running directory.

I recommend you download the files from the svn trunk, with a command 
similar to 'svn co http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/derelict'

Of course, to do that you need subversion or TurtleSVN for windows, you 
can get it at http://subversion.tigris.org/

Note that derelict is special in that it loads the libraries at runtime, 
so you use a command similar to DerelictSDL_Load(); to load the SDL lib.

Derelict also includes OpenGL, GLU, and SDL image + mixer.

I think you'll find derelict easy to use, and it does come with 
examples. Good Luck!

But then you need to use "save as" for every single source? I wonder if

Where are you getting the test program sdlsem.d?  I don't see it anywhere.

The conflict above is bewteen two phobos functions atoi() that have been 
imported from separate libraries.  It's possible to fix this, but we 
need to see the source of sdlsem.d.

Also, make sure you are not merely downloading the zip file 
derelict-0.1.zip from the project svn directory and using it here.  That 
one's ancient and probably no longer supported for recent versions of 
dmd.  Perhaps Mike (the author of derelict) will make an updated zip of 
the archive soon for those that don't want to deal with svn.

Ah, okay.  You are using the commandline version of svn for windows. 
I've been using tortoiseSVN which integrates with the windows shell. 
For some people, it can be a little easier to use 
(http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/), although there's definitely nothing 
wrong with learning to use the CLI version.

The command above is used to copy a file from the svn repository.  In 
your case you must be downloading the derelict-0.1.zip file. Like I 
mentioned earlier, that one is completely outdated... absolute ancient 
history, and although it probably works to some extent, it shouldn't be 
used due to dmd version changes and latent bugs.

Perhaps try checking out the svn project like so to get play with the 
most recent version:

1) change to the directory into which you want to install derelict

cd c:\dmd\src

2) type this on the command line:

svn co http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/derelict ./derelict

NOTE: "co" means "checkout";  you use that command whenever you want to 
download a external project into a new directory on your computer.

After the above is complete, you will find that the derelict directory 
has been created and the complete source for derelict has been 
downloaded into that directory.

You could also have done the following to accomplish the same task:

1) create c:\dmd\src\derelict directory

cd c:\dmd\src
mkdir derelict
cd derelict

2) download the project from the repository

svn co http://svn.dsource.org/svn/projects/derelict .

As you can see, the '.' allows you to dowload the repository into the 
current directory, in this case the one you just created.

Either method works.  Now you should have a brand spanken new derelict.

Oh and if you want to periodically sync your derelict with the external 
repository to keep up to date, you can just type:

svn update

every once and awhile from within the derelict directory.

Build instructions for making a library out of derelict are included 
with the project.  I also recomment you look at the great D build tool 
called -- can you guess? -- "build."

All the best,

Thank u for the detailed information.

So far it works out. I also have discovered that there
is a new glfw version that supports D - using the usual import
strategy. It has all the structures up to Open GL 1.4. 
I might use this together with dedicated.

Yes, Derelict includes a dynamic loader for glfw 2.4.2 that is quite 
useful.  Meanwhile, the author of glfw (Marcus) also includes a D import 
library within the glfw project itself that may be used, if one so 
desires, instead.

The advantage of using Mike Parker's Derelict glfw interface is that you 
don't have worry about linking with an import library during the link 
step.  Derelict allows D to dynamically link with glfw.dll at runtime so 
that all required symbols are available to the programmer.  This means 
that Derelict is the only library you must link to at link time.

Right now, though, glfw is at 2.5.  glfw 2.5 hasn't been integrated into 
Derelict yet, but there are plans to do so soon.  Also Derelict, as far 
as I know, doesn't support opengl structures as high as those supported 
by glfw 2.5.  That's another WIP.

Overall, though, using Derelict should simplify many things.  I've got 
several of the glfw samples converted to use Derelict glfw.  They work 
both on windows and linux; all demos are working great.

Yes, that's one solution: fully qualified names will clear things up

The trouble you're having is my fault, as I have not released an 
up-to-date zip archive in almost a year. Also, it isn't immediately 
obvious to svn newcomers that you actually want to checkout the trunk, 
as the source in the tags directory is the is a snapshot of what's in 
the zip archive. Hopefully I'll have time to get this all sorted sooner 
rather than later.

Hello !

I installed D on windows. The examples included with D compile and run fine.
However, using the SDL adaption from DeDecated (and the improvement from a
japanese website) all the examples either compile but dont run or dont even
compile. (They seem very old). I am including the proper SDL*.d files and 
use the proper SDL.dll.

Does anybody know if there is an up to date version of SDL for D with working
examples ? 


Use Derelict :) I'm happily loading SDL and SDLttf through it. It also 
contains bindings to OpenGL and some other very useful libs.
http://dsource.org/projects/derelict/
Don't use the .zip, grab files from SVN and compile them using Build. I 
don't know of any simple examples, but you might find some help on 
Derelict's forum.

 Thanks so far !
 
 I run make and the library compiles, but I am getting into trouble with the
 3rd example sdlsem.d :
 
 dmd src\test\sdlsem.d lib\derelictSDL.lib lib\derelictSDL.lib -v -debug -Isrc
-o
 dobj\tests -ofbin\sdlsem.exe
 parse     sdlsem
 semantic  sdlsem
 semantic2 sdlsem
 semantic3 sdlsem
 C:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\string.d(92): function std.string.atoi conflicts
wi
 th std.c.stdlib.atoi at C:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\c\stdlib.d(53)
 
 I would appreciate any help.

Yes I am a newcomer indeed.
But with the help of the people in this forum 
it was a no-brainer to use svn and get the newest derelict
version compiled (well ok, after some trial and error)
An up-to-date zip version might be really helpfull for people new
to D and not accustomed to use CVS or SVN. I even thought that 
derelict was dead before I got the trunk and saw all the great
stuff thats in it (Open AL, GLFW, ...). D would have more apeal
to game-programmers if they knew that all these libraries
are easily accessible with derelict.
