# NAME

Alien::CSFML - Build and provide access to the official binding of SFML for the
C language

# Description

This distribution builds and installs CSFML; the official binding of SFML for
the C language. Its API is as close as possible to the C++ API (but in C style,
of course), which makes it a perfect tool for building SFML bindings for other
languages that don't directly support C++ libraries.

# Synopsis

    use Alien::CSFML;
    use ExtUtils::CBuilder;
    my $SF  = Alien::CSFML->new( 'C++' => 1 );
    my $CC  = ExtUtils::CBuilder->new( quiet => 0 );
    my $SRC = 'hello_world.cxx';
    open( my $FH, '>', $SRC ) || die '...';
    syswrite( $FH, <<'')      || die '...'; close $FH;
    #include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
    int main() {
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(200, 200), "SFML works!");
        sf::CircleShape shape(100.f);
        shape.setFillColor(sf::Color::Green);
        while (window.isOpen()) {
            sf::Event event;
            while (window.pollEvent(event)) {
                if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                    window.close();
            }
            window.clear();
            window.draw(shape);
            window.display();
        }
        return 0;
    }

    my $OBJ = $CC->compile( 'C++' => 1, source => $SRC, include_dirs => [ $SF->include_dirs ] );
    my $EXE = $CC->link_executable(
        objects            => $OBJ,
        extra_linker_flags => ' -lstdc++ ' . $SF->ldflags(qw[graphics system window])
    );
    print system(
        (
            $^O eq 'MSWin32' ? '' :
                'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=' . join( ':', '.', $SF->library_path(1) ) . ' '
        ) .
            './' . $EXE
    ) ? 'Aww...' : 'Yay!';
    END { unlink grep defined, $SRC, $OBJ, $EXE; }

# Constructor

    my $AS = Alien::CSFML->new( );

Per-object configuration options are set in the constructor and include:

- `C++`

    Specifies that the source file is a C++ source file and sets appropriate
    compile and linker flags.

# Methods

After creating a new [Alien::CSFML](https://metacpan.org/pod/Alien%3A%3ACSFML) object, use the following
methods to gather information:
