This is the documentation of the API corresponding to the OSDL 0.5 version, released on Sunday, April 5, 2009.
OSDL stands for Object-oriented Simple DirectMedia Layer. It is a free portable high-level open-source library for multimedia and game programming.
Basically, OSDL is a high-level C++ library, working on top of lower-level back-ends, currently SDL and related helper libraries (SDL_*), and on Ceylan.
Use OSDL.h and link your program or library with one of the following OSDL libraries:
CPPFLAGS += -I<OSDL_INSTALL_DIR>/include/OSDL LIBS += -L<OSDL_INSTALL_DIR>/lib -lOSDL If the user code is autotools-based, the osdl.m4 macro, available in the test subdirectory, helps writing a configure.ac file which takes into account the linking with OSDL library. See the OSDL_PATH macro and its numerous built-in sanity checks. One can use OSDL's numerous test cases as guidelines to implement, build and run code using the OSDL library.
Installation is to be performed thanks to LOANI.
