I'll simply use symlinks so that the sdl2 libs can be found...typically, they are refered to by the 2 "standard" designators like ("libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0" "libSDL2_ttf") ("libSDL2_image-2.0.so.0" "libSDL2_image") Looking forward for SDL3 then. Best, RobertNot sure what project this is referring to... as long as this is open source, you can probably patch it to dlopen 'libSDL2_ttf.so' without the version suffix and same for SDL2_image, as jsg@ pointed out.
Thanks again jsg@ and thfr@. https://github.com/Failproofshark/cl-sdl2-ttf https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2-image I can work around it, but was interested why it's "different"...
