Prepare sdl2-compat by running the following commands:
cmake -B build -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-D SDL2COMPAT_STATIC=OFF \
-D SDL2COMPAT_TESTS=OFF \
-W no-dev -G Ninjaninja -C build
Now Install the package, as the root user:
ninja -C build install rm -vf /usr/lib/libSDL2_test.a
If you want to build the tests, issue the following commands:
cmake -B build-tests -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
-D SDL2COMPAT_INSTALL_TESTS=ON \
-D SDL2COMPAT_STATIC=OFF \
-D SDL2COMPAT_TESTS=ON \
-W no-dev -G Ninja
ninja -C build-tests
DESTDIR=$PWD/TESTS ninja -C build-tests install
Now you will be able to run the tests in TESTS/usr/libexec/installed-tests/SDL2_compat.
You will have to run the tests individually. Some of them may need to be
manually killed and audio will need to be working so that you can hear
from the default audio output.
-D SDL2COMPAT_STATIC=OFF: This parameter disables
building the static libraries.
-D SDL2COMPAT_TESTS=OFF: This parameter disables
building the tests.
rm -vf /usr/lib/libSDL2_test.a: This command removes a useless static library.
