SDL on Apple Mac OS X

Short post on using SDL on Mac OS X:

1. Download SDL - the source tarball.
   
2. Extract the tar, and open the command prompt to that directory
   
3. Type "./configure" "make" and "sudo make install".
   
   You should have the libSDL.a in /usr/local/lib, and headers in /usr/local/include/SDL
   
4. Download/write a simple SDL test program, I like Sol's SDL tutorials, the nice old school plasma.
   
5. Compile:
   

   g++ main.cpp -lsdl -lsdlmain -framework Cocoa -o output

   If you are using OpenGL, add a "-framework OpenGL" in the command line as well. (You can get a sample OpenGL SDL C++ program for OS X here).
   

And thats it!
