script : ios build libs

Hello,

Here is a basic script to automatically build the SDL library and the satellite libs for IOS, configuration Debug/Release of Device/Simulator.

It expects the directory SDL/SDL_image/ttf/mixer in $HOME/release/Release_SDL_IOS  
and install the libs in $HOME/release/Release_SDL_IOS/SDL/{Debug,Release}-iphone{os,simulator}/

It saves me one hour each time I want to update to latest SDL version !

This is an update of the previous script, so that it builds for arm64 and armv7 which are the architectures needed to publish on the AppStore.

script to build SDL libs for OSTV

Then, here's the same kind of script to build SDL libs for AppleTV / OSTV.

But, currently: 
- you need Xcode-beta 7.1 (installed in /Applications/Xcode-beta)
- SDL does not compile ... (no CoreMotion framework, some define are forbidden compared to IOS, ...)

Comment 5 Sylvain 2015-10-23 16:19:57 UTC 
I have added an option "-fembed-bitcode" which is now required to publish on App Store. That is to to embed bitcode.
Comment 6 philhassey 2016-12-02 21:53:57 UTC 
This was very helpful.

I found that I had to add "i386 x86_64" to SDL > Build Settings > Valid Architectures > to make proper simulator compatible builds for Xcode 8.1.

I added this line

lipo -create ./Release-iphoneos/libSDL2.a ./Release-iphonesimulator/libSDL2.a -output ./libSDL2.a

To create a universal (device and simulator) library.
