From b841f49a362906a15d881d6f36c868669920f6ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicola Smaniotto Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2021 17:27:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add Linux installation info Add a repology badge and mention the possibility to install via the package manager. I believe this is a better approach than explicitly mentioning a repository, because it uses repology's database (and the list will remain updated). --- README.md | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 376adcc..24c22dd 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -57,12 +57,18 @@ Download and unpack devel packages for `SDL2` and `SDL2_mixer`.\ Set paths to them in `CMakeLists.txt`, see suggested placement in `/Libs`.\ Compile with Visual Studio; tested with 2019. + + Packaging status + + ### On Linux Install devel packages for `SDL2` and `SDL2_mixer`.\ Compile with CMake; tested with GCC 10, Clang 11.\ To cross-compile for Windows, install a 64-bit version of mingw and its `SDL2` and `SDL2_mixer` distributions, then use the `mingwcc.cmake` toolchain. +Some distributions provide a package in their repository.
