<para>First, if you are building on a 32-bit i686 system, apply a patch
containing a fix for the OpenGL headers and their data types:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">case $(uname -m) in
i?86) patch -Np1 -i ../SDL2-&sdl2-version;-opengl_include_fix-1.patch ;;
esac</userinput></screen>
<para>Install <application>SDL2</application> by running the
following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
If you have <xref linkend="doxygen"/> installed and want to build the
html documentation, run the following commands:
</para>
<screen remap="doc"><userinput>pushd docs &amp;&amp;
doxygen &amp;&amp;
popd</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>If you wish to build and run the package regression
tests, do not delete the static libraries below until after
the tests are built.</para>
</note>
<para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
rm -v /usr/lib/libSDL2*.a</userinput></screen>
<para>If you built the documentation, install it as the <systemitem
class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
<screen role="root"
remap="doc"><userinput>install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/SDL2-&sdl2-version;/html &amp;&amp;
cp -Rv docs/output/html/* /usr/share/doc/SDL2-&sdl2-version;/html</userinput></screen>

The tests are broken for version 2.0.10. It cannot find libSDL2_test*.
<sect2 role="testing">
<title>Testing SDL2</title>
<para>If you wish to, test the installation of
<application>SDL2</application> using the included
test programs.
None of the resulting binaries need to be installed.
Issue the following commands to build the
test programs:</para>
<screen><userinput>cd test &amp;&amp;
./configure &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>Each of the test programs (they are listed in the
<filename>README</filename> file in this directory) will need to be run
individually. Many of them will need to be manually killed. Additionally,
speakers need to be on with the volume at a suitable level.</para>

<sect2 role="commands">
<title>Command Explanations</title>
<para><command>rm -v /usr/lib/libSDL2*.a</command>: Normally
static libraries can be disabled with a <option>--disable-static</option>
option to configure, but that breaks the build in this package.</para>
<para><option>--disable-alsa-shared</option>: This switch disables
dynamically loading ALSA shared libraries.</para>
<para><option>--disable-sdl-dlopen</option>: This switch disables using
dlopen for shared object loading. Loading image backend libraries like
libpng dynamically on the fly does not work.</para>
<para><option>--disable-x11-shared</option>: This switch disables
dynamically loading X11 shared libraries.</para>
