UndefVarError: libsdl2_{ttf,image} not defined (Apple Silicon / M1 Mac)

[shg]

I tried to run the file in the example directory and got an error. I see the same error when I tried GZExamples. Any idea? I installed master of SimpleMediaLayer and GameZero. I'm on M1 Mac and sdl2 libraries are installed by homebrew.

Yeah, SDL2_ttf jll is not built for apple m1.

cf: https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/SDL2_ttf_jll.jl/tree/main/src/wrappers

Someone needs to rebuild this in Yggdrasil

[shg]

Thank you. I wish I could contribute but I have no experience with jll. I will wait for someone else to work on it.

[giordano]

I haven't tried myself, but this should have been fixed by JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#5483. Curiously, JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#3367 was already meant to build the library for this platform, but failed to do so in practice.

[shg]

To make GameZero work on Apple Silicom Mac, it seems SDL2_image_jll needs to be built as well.

JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#5484

I renamed the title and keep this issue open.

[aviks]

SDL2_image_jll should now be available for M1

[shg]

I confirmed SDL2 related issues are fixed on my M1 Mac. Thank you very much!

I can run examples although there are some issues related to screen resolution. I will register another issue if necessary after a little more digging.
