Approaching using a header-only C library

[Ortimh]

Use SWIG to convert it to Lua, but it's not recommended though because after that I couldn't tell you what to do next. I read this demo for SDL/OpenGL 3, from what I can see.. you need to integrate Nuklear library to LOVE (and Lua, also SDL) by hacking a few things in here and here, also maybe elsewhere. That's not going to be easy though.

you're going to need access to Love's Window:getHandle which isn't exposed to Lua. This (someone correct me if I'm wrong) means that your best bet would be to compile your shared library against Love as well and get the SDL_Window instance there.

You should be able to get the window handle with SDL_GL_GetCurrentWindow.

Try this:

Code: Select all

local ffi = require 'ffi'
local sdl = ffi.load 'SDL2'

ffi.cdef [[
typedef void SDL_Window;

SDL_Window* SDL_GL_GetCurrentWindow (void);

void SDL_MinimizeWindow (SDL_Window* window);
]]

local sdlWindow = sdl.SDL_GL_GetCurrentWindow()
sdl.SDL_MinimizeWindow(sdlWindow)

Oooh, nice! Yeah, I'd definitely try that first.
