[REQUEST] sdl2 package problems

How to install SDL2 on arch properly?

I have installed via packer package (sdl2-2.0.9-1).

But I have "undefined reference" when trying to build something.

SDLPng.cpp:(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `IMG_Init'
/usr/bin/ld: SDLPng.cpp:(.text+0x57): undefined reference to `IMG_Load'
/usr/bin/ld: SDLPng.cpp:(.text+0xc1): undefined reference to `SDL_GetError'
/usr/bin/ld: SDLPng.cpp:(.text+0x174): undefined reference to `SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface'
/usr/bin/ld: SDLPng.cpp:(.text+0x1f9): undefined reference to `SDL_FreeSurface'
/usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/runSnakePlusPlusTests.dir/__/__/SDL2_Standardproject/SDL/SDLPng.cpp.o: in function `SDLPng::~SDLPng()':

Re: [REQUEST] sdl2 package problems

Why is this in the AUR subforum?  SDL2 is  in [extra].

What is the "something" you are trying to build?  Is that in the AUR?  Post the complete command and output.

The error looks like LDLIBS was not properly set during some build process.

Or they need one or more sdl2_*  subpackages .
I agree with the rest of Trilby's post.
