Version 2.2 of SDL2-for-Pascal Units Released

[SilverWarior]

Impressive work on maintaining SDL2 headers for pascal with latest version of SDL2. From what I have read here and there there were quite a lot of changes made on SDL v2.2 which meant a lot for work for you guys maintaining headers up to date.

PS: I have promoted your thread into News article

Thanks for your words and thanks a lot for publishing!

Well, that are good news. I hope I can now compile on macOS on Apple Silicon. Never got an answer to my post: https://www.pascalgamedevelopment.co...-Apple-Silicon
Now I am on macOS Sonoma - still no success in compiling. But maybe with the new Units? I will try it in the next few days.

EDIT: Still doesn't work. It is claimed that the units work with FPC and macOS. But how?

Cybermonkey, вероятнее всего, на это вопрос вам ответят только сами разработчики SDL.

Google translate:
Cybermonkey, most likely, only the SDL developers themselves will answer this question for you.

Where to download the (correct version) .dll files

"SDL2 unit is up-to-date with at least version 2.0.14 of the SDL2 library"

SDL 2.0.14 on github does only have source for download.

The first release with assets other than source is 2.0.18

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.0.18/SDL2-2.0.18-win32-x64.zip

Containing SDL2.dll, perhaps other dll's were merged into it?

Nah... still asking for SDL2_ttf.dll

Thatd be in another github repo releases:

https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/releases/download/release-2.0.18/SDL2_ttf-2.0.18-win32-x64.zip

Oh... "Update SDL_ttf.pas to latest version 2.21.0"

The closest would then be https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/releases/download/prerelease-2.21.1/SDL2_ttf-2.21.1-win32-x64.zip


I got things working with the above logic but have no idea if it is correct or not. First release after or the latest. Can one download SDL3 dlls and SLDforPascal 2.2 headers will work with them?
