-Mac OS X
-==============================================================================
-
-These instructions are for people using Apple's Mac OS X (pronounced
-"ten").
-
-From the developer's point of view, OS X is a sort of hybrid Mac and
-Unix system, and you have the option of using either traditional
-command line tools or Apple's IDE Xcode.
-
-Command Line Build
-==================
-
-To build SDL using the command line, use the standard configure and make
-process:
-
- ./configure
- make
- sudo make install
-
-You can also build SDL as a Universal library (a single binary for both
-32-bit and 64-bit Intel architectures), on Mac OS X 10.7 and newer, by using
-the gcc-fat.sh script in build-scripts:
-
- mkdir mybuild
- cd mybuild
- CC=$PWD/../build-scripts/gcc-fat.sh CXX=$PWD/../build-scripts/g++-fat.sh ../configure
- make
- sudo make install
-
-This script builds SDL with 10.5 ABI compatibility on i386 and 10.6
-ABI compatibility on x86_64 architectures. For best compatibility you
-should compile your application the same way.
-
-Please note that building SDL requires at least Xcode 4.6 and the 10.7 SDK
-(even if you target back to 10.5 systems). PowerPC support for Mac OS X has
-been officially dropped as of SDL 2.0.2.
-
-To use the library once it's built, you essential have two possibilities:
-use the traditional autoconf/automake/make method, or use Xcode.
-
-==============================================================================
-Caveats for using SDL with Mac OS X
-==============================================================================
-
-Some things you have to be aware of when using SDL on Mac OS X:
-
-- If you register your own NSApplicationDelegate (using [NSApp setDelegate:]),
- SDL will not register its own. This means that SDL will not terminate using
- SDL_Quit if it receives a termination request, it will terminate like a
- normal app, and it will not send a SDL_DROPFILE when you request to open a
- file with the app. To solve these issues, put the following code in your
- NSApplicationDelegate implementation:
-
-
- - (NSApplicationTerminateReply)applicationShouldTerminate:(NSApplication *)sender
- {
- if (SDL_GetEventState(SDL_QUIT) == SDL_ENABLE) {
- SDL_Event event;
- event.type = SDL_QUIT;
- SDL_PushEvent(&event);
- }
-
- return NSTerminateCancel;
- }
-
- - (BOOL)application:(NSApplication *)theApplication openFile:(NSString *)filename
- {
- if (SDL_GetEventState(SDL_DROPFILE) == SDL_ENABLE) {
- SDL_Event event;
- event.type = SDL_DROPFILE;
- event.drop.file = SDL_strdup([filename UTF8String]);
- return (SDL_PushEvent(&event) > 0);
- }
-
- return NO;
- }
-
-==============================================================================
-Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with a traditional Makefile
-==============================================================================
-
-An existing autoconf/automake build system for your SDL app has good chances
-to work almost unchanged on OS X. However, to produce a "real" Mac OS X binary
-that you can distribute to users, you need to put the generated binary into a
-so called "bundle", which basically is a fancy folder with a name like
-"MyCoolGame.app".
-
-To get this build automatically, add something like the following rule to
-your Makefile.am:
-
- bundle_contents = APP_NAME.app/Contents
- APP_NAME_bundle: EXE_NAME
- mkdir -p $(bundle_contents)/MacOS
- mkdir -p $(bundle_contents)/Resources
- echo "APPL????" > $(bundle_contents)/PkgInfo
- $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $< $(bundle_contents)/MacOS/
-
-You should replace EXE_NAME with the name of the executable. APP_NAME is what
-will be visible to the user in the Finder. Usually it will be the same
-as EXE_NAME but capitalized. E.g. if EXE_NAME is "testgame" then APP_NAME
-usually is "TestGame". You might also want to use `@PACKAGE@` to use the package
-name as specified in your configure.ac file.
-
-If your project builds more than one application, you will have to do a bit
-more. For each of your target applications, you need a separate rule.
-
-If you want the created bundles to be installed, you may want to add this
-rule to your Makefile.am:
-
- install-exec-hook: APP_NAME_bundle
- rm -rf $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/Applications/APP_NAME.app
- mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/Applications/
- cp -r $< /$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)Applications/
-
-This rule takes the Bundle created by the rule from step 3 and installs them
-into "$(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/Applications/".
-
-Again, if you want to install multiple applications, you will have to augment
-the make rule accordingly.
-
-
-But beware! That is only part of the story! With the above, you end up with
-a bare bone .app bundle, which is double clickable from the Finder. But
-there are some more things you should do before shipping your product...
-
-1) The bundle right now probably is dynamically linked against SDL. That
- means that when you copy it to another computer, *it will not run*,
- unless you also install SDL on that other computer. A good solution
- for this dilemma is to static link against SDL. On OS X, you can
- achieve that by linking against the libraries listed by
-
- sdl-config --static-libs
-
- instead of those listed by
-
- sdl-config --libs
-
- Depending on how exactly SDL is integrated into your build systems, the
- way to achieve that varies, so I won't describe it here in detail
-
-2) Add an 'Info.plist' to your application. That is a special XML file which
- contains some meta-information about your application (like some copyright
- information, the version of your app, the name of an optional icon file,
- and other things). Part of that information is displayed by the Finder
- when you click on the .app, or if you look at the "Get Info" window.
- More information about Info.plist files can be found on Apple's homepage.
-
-
-As a final remark, let me add that I use some of the techniques (and some
-variations of them) in Exult and ScummVM; both are available in source on
-the net, so feel free to take a peek at them for inspiration!
-
-
-==============================================================================
-Using the Simple DirectMedia Layer with Xcode
-==============================================================================
-
-These instructions are for using Apple's Xcode IDE to build SDL applications.
-
-- First steps
-
-The first thing to do is to unpack the Xcode.tar.gz archive in the
-top level SDL directory (where the Xcode.tar.gz archive resides).
-Because Stuffit Expander will unpack the archive into a subdirectory,
-you should unpack the archive manually from the command line:
-
- cd [path_to_SDL_source]
- tar zxf Xcode.tar.gz
-
-This will create a new folder called Xcode, which you can browse
-normally from the Finder.
-
-- Building the Framework
-
-The SDL Library is packaged as a framework bundle, an organized
-relocatable folder hierarchy of executable code, interface headers,
-and additional resources. For practical purposes, you can think of a
-framework as a more user and system-friendly shared library, whose library
-file behaves more or less like a standard UNIX shared library.
-
-To build the framework, simply open the framework project and build it.
-By default, the framework bundle "SDL.framework" is installed in
-/Library/Frameworks. Therefore, the testers and project stationary expect
-it to be located there. However, it will function the same in any of the
-following locations:
-
- ~/Library/Frameworks
- /Local/Library/Frameworks
- /System/Library/Frameworks
-
-- Build Options
- There are two "Build Styles" (See the "Targets" tab) for SDL.
- "Deployment" should be used if you aren't tweaking the SDL library.
- "Development" should be used to debug SDL apps or the library itself.
-
-- Building the Testers
- Open the SDLTest project and build away!
-
-- Using the Project Stationary
- Copy the stationary to the indicated folders to access it from
- the "New Project" and "Add target" menus. What could be easier?
-
-- Setting up a new project by hand
- Some of you won't want to use the Stationary so I'll give some tips:
- * Create a new "Cocoa Application"
- * Add src/main/macosx/SDLMain.m , .h and .nib to your project
- * Remove "main.c" from your project
- * Remove "MainMenu.nib" from your project
- * Add "$(HOME)/Library/Frameworks/SDL.framework/Headers" to include path
- * Add "$(HOME)/Library/Frameworks" to the frameworks search path
- * Add "-framework SDL -framework Foundation -framework AppKit" to "OTHER_LDFLAGS"
- * Set the "Main Nib File" under "Application Settings" to "SDLMain.nib"
- * Add your files
- * Clean and build
-
-- Building from command line
- Use pbxbuild in the same directory as your .pbproj file
-
-- Running your app
- You can send command line args to your app by either invoking it from
- the command line (in *.app/Contents/MacOS) or by entering them in the
- "Executables" panel of the target settings.
-
-- Implementation Notes
- Some things that may be of interest about how it all works...
- * Working directory
- As defined in the SDL_main.m file, the working directory of your SDL app
- is by default set to its parent. You may wish to change this to better
- suit your needs.
- * You have a Cocoa App!
- Your SDL app is essentially a Cocoa application. When your app
- starts up and the libraries finish loading, a Cocoa procedure is called,
- which sets up the working directory and calls your main() method.
- You are free to modify your Cocoa app with generally no consequence
- to SDL. You cannot, however, easily change the SDL window itself.
- Functionality may be added in the future to help this.

-Known bugs are listed in the file "BUGS.txt".
+# Mac OS X (aka macOS).
+

+CMake is also known to work, although it continues to be a work in progress:
+
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+
+You can also build SDL as a Universal library (a single binary for both
+64-bit Intel and ARM architectures), by using the build-scripts/clang-fat.sh
+script.
+
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+CC=$PWD/../build-scripts/clang-fat.sh ../configure
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+This script builds SDL with 10.6 ABI compatibility on 64-bit Intel and 11.0

+should compile your application the same way.
+
+Please note that building SDL requires at least Xcode 4.6 and the 10.7 SDK
+(even if you target back to 10.6 systems). PowerPC support for Mac OS X has
+been officially dropped as of SDL 2.0.2. 32-bit Intel, using an older Xcode
+release, is still supported at the time of this writing, but current Xcode
+releases no longer support it, and eventually neither will SDL.

+

+that launched the program was using, or if launched by double-clicking in

+
+Your SDL app is essentially a Cocoa application. When your app
+starts up and the libraries finish loading, a Cocoa procedure is called,
+which sets up the working directory and calls your main() method.
