I try to import SDL2 into a project of mine using conan.
I have some experience with depending on the source and on nuget packages.
Ever since I switched to Linux I am working with conan to get my packages.
Searching for SDL2 packages I can find these packages:
Remote ‘bincrafters’:
sdl2/2.0.7@bincrafters/testing
sdl2/2.0.8@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.8@bincrafters/testing
sdl2/2.0.9@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.10@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.12@bincrafters/stable
sdl2/2.0.14@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.3@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.4@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_image/2.0.5@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_mixer/2.0.4@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_ttf/2.0.14@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_ttf/2.0.15@bincrafters/stable
The problem with those is that they do not really work, especially sdl2_ttf.
I tried to get in touch with bincrafters via github and did not get anywhere.
Is there anyone here who had a simmilar experience?
Is there an interest in the SDL2 community to create and maintain conan recipes?
Is that something that I could start contributing to SDL2?
