Deps in the repo.

[gedw99]

To do a cross platform build from Mac, you need all the OS deps.

https://github.com/cogentcore/webgpu/tree/main/wgpu/lib solves it this way and it makes it so much easier for a dev to get going.

We could do a similar thing ?

Hey @gedw99 ,

at the moment I am not planning to do this.

Linux and FreeBSD users can and should install SDL3 through their package manager. Rolling releases (like Archlinux) already have SDL3 in the repository and upcoming releases (like Debian 13 or Ubuntu 25.04) will have. The package manger also resolves required dependencies - a single libSDL3.so file wouldn't.

Windows users can simply grab the SDL3.dll from the releases page ( SDL3-3.2.4-win32-x64.zip).

On macOS you can use Homebrew or MacPorts.

Apart from that, cross-compiling is always possible. SDL3 is a runtime dependency, and not a compile-time dependency.

If you really want the dependencies embedded, you can look at @Zyko0 's binding: Zyko0/go-sdl3#1 .

Best regards
