The code contains support for Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, +RISC OS, SymbianOS, Nintendo DS, and OS/2, but these are not officially +supported. + +SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to +several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, +Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, +Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk. + +This library is distributed under GNU LGPL version 2, which can be +found in the file "COPYING". This license allows you to use SDL +freely in commercial programs as long as you link with the dynamic +library. + +The best way to learn how to use SDL is to check out the header files in +the "include" subdirectory and the programs in the "test" subdirectory. +The header files and test programs are well commented and always up to date. +More documentation is available in HTML format in "docs/index.html", and +a documentation wiki is available online at: + http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi + +The test programs in the "test" subdirectory are in the public domain. + +Frequently asked questions are answered online: + http://www.libsdl.org/faq.php + +If you need help with the library, or just want to discuss SDL related +issues, you can join the developers mailing list: + http://www.libsdl.org/mailing-list.php + +Enjoy! + Sam Lantinga (slouken@libsdl.org) + |
