Hello everyone!

Recently I stumbled upon the nice custom library SDL2_gfx, which can
be used to draw graphic primitives with SDL:
http://cms.ferzkopp.net/index.php/software/13-sdl-gfx.
SDL2_gfx-1.0.1 perfectly fits my requirements and now I want to use
this library in a simple project.

I have downloaded the source code and managed to build it on Mac OS X
10.11.2, however I miss a framework-version for Mac, that is a library
bundle by the name of SDL2_gfx.framework. I could link the dynamic
libraries (.dylib) against my program as well, but I would rather like
to stay in consistency with my previous SDL-project, which uses only
SDL*.frameworks.

Can I generate in a simple way the SDL2_gfx.framework for Mac? Or has
somebody did this work already for me?
In Version 1 (SDL_gfx-2.0.25) there was a XCode-project which could be
used to generate the framework, but it seems to be deprecated with
XCode 7.

I contacted the author of SDL2_gfx, but unfortunately he answered that
he doesn't know how to build a Mac OS X framework from his source. And
neither do I.

So hopefully somebody could give me a good advice or tell me, how I
can build a *.framework for SDL2_gfx.
Thanks in advance!
Matthias

Apple documentation & a bit of googling should help out:

Thank you for your reply.

With some fiddling and trial and error I finally could use XCode to generate the framework.
I informed the author of SDL2_gfx, so he could include the XCode-project eventually in the future.

Cheers,
Matthias

Matte - Would you mind sharing your Xcode project that built the framework? I'm facing the same problem and I would like to benefit from your work.
