SDL2

This is a copy of the SDL source code with the premake build system added. It was loosely based on the premake4 build system for SDL written by renpy, however I have only learned premake5 and almost all of that knowledge is not applicable to premake4.

The official source release of SDL can be found here.

Building SDL2 with premake5

So far, the premake files I have written only support Windows. As such I have only included the batch files for building on Windows. I will add support for Linux and MacOS if and when I need it or if there is sufficient demand.

Windows

To build the solution and project files for SDL2:

Install Git (or Github Desktop if you prefer) and clone the repository in the command prompt with
```
git clone https://github.com/SpookyScaryStudios/SDL2 target/directory
```
Run GenerateProjectFiles.bat and open the SDL.sln file in the root directory.

To link SDL2 to another project:

Clone the repository into your project as a git submodule in the command prompt with
```
git submodule add https://github.com/SpookyScaryStudios/SDL2 target/directory
```
Include SDL2.lua and SDL2main.lua into your project's premake file. These can be found in the Build directory, in folders of the same name.

Structure

The project has a directary structure similar to that of Unreal Engine:

Directory	Description
Binaries	Binary directory.
Build	Where premake files, batch files and binaries are stored.
docs	SDL documentation (copied from the SDL source).
include	SDL include path (copied from the SDL source).
Intermediate	Intermediates and project files.
src	SDL source code (copied from the SDL source).
