Identical to SDL_VERSION</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Don't forget to include SDLmain.h and SDLmain.m your project for the
OS X framework based version. (Other versions link to -lSDLmain which
this module will try to find on your behalf.) Also for OS X, this
module will automatically add the -framework Cocoa on your behalf.</p>
<p>Additional Note: If you see an empty SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP in your
configuration and no SDL_LIBRARY, it means CMake did not find your SDL
library (SDL.dll, libsdl.so, SDL.framework, etc). Set
SDL_LIBRARY_TEMP to point to your SDL library, and configure again.
Similarly, if you see an empty SDLMAIN_LIBRARY, you should set this
value as appropriate. These values are used to generate the final
SDL_LIBRARY variable, but when these values are unset, SDL_LIBRARY
does not get created.</p>
<p>$SDLDIR is an environment variable that would correspond to the
./configure --prefix=$SDLDIR used in building SDL. l.e.galup 9-20-02</p>
<p>On OSX, this will prefer the Framework version (if found) over others.
People will have to manually change the cache values of SDL_LIBRARY to
override this selection or set the CMake environment
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH to modify the search paths.</p>
<p>Note that the header path has changed from SDL/SDL.h to just SDL.h
This needed to change because &quot;proper&quot; SDL convention is #include
&quot;SDL.h&quot;, not &lt;SDL/SDL.h&gt;. This is done for portability reasons
because not all systems place things in SDL/ (see FreeBSD).</p>
