Hey everyone, I've created a new website, http://dmedia.dprogramming.com/ dedicated to multimedia development using the D language. It will include information about SDL, OpenGL, font rendering, sound, game programming and more :) Its 'Tutorials' section currently contains one article - "Getting started with SDL and OpenGL in D – Part 1". It's available at: http://dmedia.dprogramming.com/Tutorials/SdlGlTutorial1 If you have some multimedia programming knowledge you'd like to share, you're welcome to join us and write a tutorial for the D community :) In addition to the website, I've created a #dmedia channel on the irc.freenode.net network, you can find some of us there and get more information, e.g. about getting an account to edit the site. // this is a crosspost to D.announce and D.learn -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/M d-pu s+: a-->----- C+++$>++++ UL P+ L+ E--- W++ N++ o?

I have some information on how to use SDL and OpenGL "cross-platform" (i.e. including the Macintosh, as well as Windows and Linux platforms) But it doesn't use DMD compiler or Build utility or Derelict bindings. Is that a problem for "dmedia.dprogramming.com"? What's the doc license?If you have some multimedia programming knowledge you'd like to share, you're welcome to join us and write a tutorial for the D community :)
I have SDL ("testbitmap"), GL ("gears"), AL ("testal") and one SDL+GL. For SDL 1.2.9, OpenGL 1.2.1, OpenAL 1.2.1 - all with GDC and GNU Make. Currently at http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/, but moving over to gdcmac. Just have to wrap it up and write the "Tutorial" style docs for it... --anders

Nice! (and a nice layout) I've started medelling with these things a few days ago, so I may help and/or learn from that site. In the tutorial #1, you didn't mention needing a .lib file for each of the SDL extensions. For example, SDL_Image and SDL_TTF are extensions to SDL, and they require seperate lib/dll files. I myself may add that in later today.

Wait .. is it a wiki where anyone can edit content?

Quote from tutorial... "Derelict can be compiled into a set of .lib or .a files and linked with your programs. However due to the Build utility, and the compilation speed that DMD gives us, we can as well build it from sources each time we compile a program that uses it. This will also prevent any eventual linking problems related to having built Derelict with different options than our program that we link against."

ahh .. I thought derelict was just a binding, i.e. C Headers --> D headers translation. and you still need the libs/dlls

Hasan Aljudy wrote:ahh .. I thought derelict was just a binding, i.e. C Headers --> D headers translation. and you still need the libs/dlls
It's not always possible to translate C/C++ headers into D modules without adding code. For instance any tricky macros or bit fields require function wrappers in D, and those generate some object code. --anders

Derelict uses function pointers which are assigned at runtime to the functions in the DLLs (with the DerelictXX_Load()-functions). Those function pointers have to be in some object file; additionally SDL provides some widely used functions that are in fact Macros, which have to be simulated by real functions.

My point was, users need to download lib files for the different extensions, like sdl_image.lib and sdl_ttf.lib, etc. isn't this correct?

No. Derelict eliminates the need to link with import libraries. It loads the shared libraries manually via LoadLibrary on Windows and dlopen on Linux.

But you still need the dlls, if you want to use image and ttf and other extensions. SDL_image.dll SDL_ttf.dll no?
May 04 2006
Yes. You need the dlls, but you don't need the libs. That, however, is a problem that needs to be taken care at runtime, not when compiling the program. Hasan Aljudy wrote:But you still need the dlls, if you want to use image and ttf and other extensions. SDL_image.dll SDL_ttf.dll no?

Yes. That's what I mean by 'shared library' - .dll on Windows and .so on Linux. Those are the files that Derelict loads. But it's not just the SDL extensions, it's for all the libraries that Derelict wraps - SDL, OpenGL, OpenAL, all of them.

On Mac OS X, they are either .framework/"bundles" or .dylib/"libraries" (A .framework is a combination of: headers, shared libs, and resources) --anders

Hey, just wanted to say that I can't get on irc.freenode.net with any IRC client that I have. It fails to look up my hostname. Does it use some nonstandard port settings or something?

Wow, the first page I stumbled upon, http://dmedia.dprogramming.com/Tutorials/SdlGlTutorial1 simply kicked me breathless! Now, is there anyone who's the one to cast the First Stone?? -- As in, trying to say it's not the looks but the content?? In other words: make the looks good enough, (like dmedia) and you're twice as far ahead as the bare looking site with Pure Gold content. Besides, the dmedia content looks good too. So, /summa summarum/, this puts all other D related sites to shame. Congratulations! Really.

Great! It looks good. Can I ask you to included the phrase "D programming language" to your page templates so it will appear somewhere on every page? This will make it more findable with google searches.

I've ported the first six DirectX tutorials back in 2005 august to D, and since I've done (at least, tried to do) it without d3dx, stopped at mesh loading (from .x format). ElfQT
