Need Help Building An SDL2 Application - fatal error: SDL_config-x86_64.h: No such file or directory

Ask Fedora

Hi,

I have an SDL2 application I am trying to build on Fedora 40 Cinnamon.
The SDL2 application is using C++.
Addition SDL2 libraries are: SDL2_Image, SDL2_Mixer, and SDL2_TTF.

I have a makefile that worked fine on *ubuntu Linux distro’s.
When I open terminal in folder with makefile, I type “make” but it does not build?
I think I installed all the SDL2 dependencies using Cinnamon Dnfdragora.

Error is below, hope someone can help me:

Still same error?

It works for me by following the readme instructions.
Here’s the specfile you can use to create own Copr repo:

sudo dnf install copr-cli

COPR_NAME="tc4ai"
COPR_PKG="${COPR_NAME}"
COPR_HOME="https://jesseleepalser.itch.io/t-crisis-4"
COPR_DESCR=\

Thank you for the info.

Do you know how to package this game for “Flatpak”?

Uninstalled all SDL2 stuff, and carefully reinstalled the required SDL2 stuff.

It builds now:
