------------ About ------------
libcrabclaw started as yet another attempt by me (Lawrence Sebald) to
create a cross-platform base for the ljsdcdev Project.
------------ What is it? ------------
libcrabclaw is a C++ library for cross-platform 2D development.
Although there are some bits of code for 3D support, that is not what
libcrabclaw was designed for. The interface of libcrabclaw was
written with portability in mind, unlike previous versions (0.0.1),
and was modeled mostly after how KallistiOS handles things.
------------ What do I need to compile it? ------------
In order to compile libcrabclaw, you will need the following
libraries:
Dreamcast:
* KallistiOS 1.3.x SVN 189 (http://gamedev.allusion.net/)
* FreeType 2 (available at http://www.ljsdcdev.net/)
* libpng (included with KOS)
* zlib (included with KOS)
* liboggvorbis (included with KOS)
Linux/MacOS X/Windows:
* FreeType 2 (http://www.freetype.org/)
* libpng (http://www.libpng.org/)
* zlib (http://www.gzip.org/zlib/)
* SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/)
* Some form of OpenGL (MesaGL, etc)
* libogg, libvorbis, libvorbisfile (http://www.vorbis.com/)
* A lot of patience
In order to generate the documentation of libcrabclaw, you will also
need Doxygen (http://www.doxygen.org/). The included Doxyfile can be
used with Doxygen to make the documentation.
------------ Why so soon a release? ------------
Well, the 0.9.3 release had a major bug in PNG loading, which was resolved by
one line of code being added. Since the bug was a nasty one (only a few PNGs
could be loaded in the Dreamcast version before it would give up), I had to fix
it quickly.
