Installing SDL

Linux Install

This web page was used for Linux install instructions: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/linux/index.php

To perform a command line install, do the following (recommended):

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get -y install libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev

To install using synaptic package manager do the following.

• In the Gnome desktop go to System | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager
• search for libsdl1.2-dev
• Click the check box next to it and select "Mark for Installation" from the popup menu and click the Mark button in the "Mark additional required changes?" dialog that pops up next.
• Search for SDL_ttf and mark libsdl-ttf2.0-dev for installation, including additional required changes, which also marks "libsdl-ttf2.0" to be installed.

  This is needed for the 3D lymph node model code for the Windows specific code that writes the simulation clock to the graphics window. It is needed since the code includes the SDL ttf header file (we could delete that, but are keeping it for now).

• Search for libavcodec-dev, libavformat-dev, libswscale-dev and mark for installation, including additional required changes.
• Click Apply in the tool bar and click the Apply button in the "Apply the following changes?" dialog that pops up. This will install all the marked packages, including additional required changes.

Mac Install

Download SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php. Under "Runtime Libraries Mac OS X:" download file SDL-1.2.14.dmg. The Development Libraries are not needed, despite the name.

Install SDL. Double click the SDL-1.2.14.dmg file to open it (mount it). In the window that opens, copy the SDL.framework folder to /Library/Frameworks

Windows Install
