Connect SDL2 in Cmake?

Question

C++ / C#

Hello, I wanted to try to write something on sdl2, I downloaded a new ide from jetbrains (сlion), cmake is used by default, I can’t cope with it. As I understand it, sdl2 needs a separate module, I took it from
here . I try to do it find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED), swears

Error:Could NOT find SDL2 (missing: SDL2_LIBRARY SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR)

. What does he want?

Answer 1

You took a script that can find sdl. Did you install SDL itself ?

Answer 2

Use the .cmake scripts from this repository by placing them in the cmake folder of your project.
Add to your CMakeLists.txt

set(SDL2_PATH "C:\\SDL2-2.0.5\\x86_64-w64-mingw32") # ПУТЬ К ВАШЕЙ SDL БИБЛИОТЕКЕ

set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${ИМЯ_ПРОЕКТА_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")

find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED)
find_package(SDL2_Image REQUIRED)
find_package(SDL2_ttf REQUIRED)

include_directories(${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR}
                    ${SDL2_IMAGE_INCLUDE_DIR}
                    ${SDL2_TTF_INCLUDE_DIR})

target_link_libraries(ИМЯ_ПРОЕКТА ${SDL2_LIBRARY}
                             ${SDL2_IMAGE_LIBRARIES}
                             ${SDL2_TTF_LIBRARIES})
