如何在没有 X-Code 的情况下最好使用 C 在 mac 上安装 SDL2？

Question

I am using C and building a game I have tried every forum out there most seem to be in C++ and I would like to use SDL2 with C. I am using gcc compiler and the furthest I got was for it to compile with Gcc but no window would appear. Not code because grabbed it from a tutorial. I have tried with brew and the framework.

Could Somebody please walk me through the install process to get it working either with gcc or xcode

EDIT: On Catalina 10.15.6

thanks

Okay, I figured it Out, those who are also having trouble you can here is my solution,

You download and install the framework into Library/Frameworks then once you are done that you will be able to compile using gcc with this command

gcc main.c -o run -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers -F/Library/Frameworks -framework SDL2 -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_image.framework/Headers -F/Library/Frameworks -framework SDL2_image

How ever as I mentioned before you can get the code to compile without a window appearing so here is the solution full credit to the forums and the User Sjr

and here is a link to how I got the compiler to work

The compile command is different so look in the comments the reply by ikokujin to the comment by Phraggers with a couple edits by me to include gcc -o run

Hope this info help's everyone who was stuck on this in their sdl2 project on Mac.
