Installation

Here are the procedures to install SDL2 on various systems.

Setting up SDL 2 on Linux

Ubuntu (Debian)

> sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-doc libsdl2-gfx-dev
> sudo apt install libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-net-dev

Manjaro (Arch)

> sudo pacman -S sdl2 sdl2_gfx
> sudo pacman -S sdl2_image sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer sdl2_net

From sources

  1. Get the sources (tar.gz) from the official SDL site. SDL2 download

  2. Extract the archive and cd to the folder that got extracted.

> cd Download
> tar -xpvf ./SDL2-2.0.14.tar.gz
  1. Configure the installation using
> ./configure
  1. Compile the source using the make command
> make all
  1. Finally, install the package using the make command

Note: If you do a manual install you may have to specify where the headers and library files are for your compiler/IDE.

Now that you've installed the development libraries, it's time to start up your IDE/compiler.
