This lets you build a custom embedded device that roughly offers the "this
process is going to the background NOW" semantics of SDL on a mobile device.
From Tom Black:
I'm having problems initializing the sensor module. I'm compiling with a standard ./configure && make && sudo make install, and the module says it's enabled, but SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING) is failing with SDL_GetError() returning "SDL not built with sensor support".

CMake: fix building tests on Linux
In case where libunwind.h has been found, it will be used by compiler,
but linker wasn't updated to reflect use of this new library.
add HAVE_ENDPOINTVOLUME_H, HAVE_MMDEVICEAPI_H and HAVE_AUDIOCLIENT_H
in SDL_config.h.in, SDL_config.h.cmake, SDL_config_windows.h, and in
SDL_config_winrt.h.

After attempting to use SDL2 in the way described in this bug, I found the main issue was the includes not being added to the compiler command.
I found the issue was that the target_include_directories commands for the SDL2, SDL2-static and SDL2main targets only sets the public includes for installations using the INSTALL_INTERFACE generator expression.
I have written a patch to CMakeLists.txt that fixes this issue by adding another item to the target_include_directories commands, utilizing the BUILD_INTERFACE generator expression to correctly add the include directory during builds.
Previously the include path was {INSTALL_PREFIX}/include,
it is now {INSTALL_PREFIX}/include/SDL2 to be consistent with
the other build and package configuration systems.
Fixes#4128.

Patch to support building the tests with cmake.
Disabled by default, use: "cmake .. -DSDL_TEST=YES" to enable the tests.
Tested on macOS 10.13 with the ninja, makefile, and Xcode generators, and Windows 10 with the Visual Studio 2017 generator.
XAudio2 doesn't have capture support, so WASAPI was to replace it; the holdout
was WinRT, which still needed it as its primary audio target until the WASAPI
code code be made to work.
The support matrix now looks like:
WinXP: directsound by default, winmm as a fallback for buggy drivers.
Vista+: WASAPI (directsound and winmm as fallbacks for debugging).
WinRT: WASAPI

There is a typo in CMakeLists.txt that makes CMake exit with failure.
Change that causes the problem: (Notice the double ending brackets)
${SDL2_SOURCE_DIR}/src/video/*.c)
+ ${SDL2_SOURCE_DIR}/src/video/yuv2rgb/*.c)
Fix:
Just remove the first ending bracket resulting in:
${SDL2_SOURCE_DIR}/src/video/*.c
${SDL2_SOURCE_DIR}/src/video/yuv2rgb/*.c)
New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

In my cross-build environment with cmake-2.8.12.1, cmake does not add
SDL_coreaudio.m to its makefiles and the result is a failure. The fix
is simple: set the language to C for it as it is done at other places
in CMakeLists.txt.

In my project, the 'uninstall' target is already created by the glew library. I get this error when SDL2 tries to create it:
CMake Error at _build/3rdparty/SDL2/SDL2-2.0.6/CMakeLists.txt:1816 (add_custom_target):
add_custom_target cannot create target "uninstall" because another target
with the same name already exists. The existing target is a custom target
created in source directory
"D:/Code/sdl2-tutorial/_build/3rdparty/glew/glew-2.1.0/build/cmake". See
documentation for policy CMP0002 for more details.
To fix it, go to the bottom of the SDL2 CMakeLists.txt file. Add an if statement to check for the existence of the target before creating it. The end result looks like this:
if(NOT TARGET uninstall)
configure_file(
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake.in"
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake"
IMMEDIATE @ONLY)
add_custom_target(uninstall
COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/cmake_uninstall.cmake)
endif()
This is how the glew library deals with this possibility in their CMakeLists.txt file.

In my existing CMake project, I use add_subdirectory to add the source for SDL2. This worked fine in 2.0.5, but now in 2.0.6 when I build the INSTALL CMake target, I get this error:
file INSTALL cannot find "D:/path/to/SDL2Config.cmake".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
3rdparty/SDL2/cmake_install.cmake:32 (include)
3rdparty/cmake_install.cmake:36 (include)
cmake_install.cmake:32 (include)
To fix this, I changed line 1770 from this:
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/SDL2Config.cmake
To this:
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/SDL2Config.cmake

When RWops seeks with fseek or fseeko it uses the types long or off_t which can be 32 bits on some platforms. stdio_seek does not check if the 64-bit integer for the offset fits into a 32-bit integer. Offsets equal or larger than 2 GiB will have implementation-defined behavior and failure states would be very confusing to debug.
The attached patch adds range checking by using the macros from limits.h for long type and some bit shifting for off_t because POSIX couldn't be bothered to specify min and max macros.
It also defines HAVE_FSEEKI64 in SDL_config_windows.h so that the Windows function gets picked up automatically with the default config.
And there's an additional error message for when ftell fails.

If I have:
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_MASK, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_PROFILE_ES);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MAJOR_VERSION, 2);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_MINOR_VERSION, 0);
SDL_GL_SetAttribute(SDL_GL_CONTEXT_FLAGS, SDL_GL_CONTEXT_DEBUG_FLAG);
and I'm using ANGLE/(a GL driver that doesn't provide an ES2 context) such that SDL_EGL_CreateContext is called by SDL_GL_CreateContext, I get the error "Could not create EGL context (context attributes are not supported)" and no context is created.
Looking at the code in SDL_EGL_CreateContext - if gl_config.flags is non-zero, it looks like the code in the section guarded with "#ifdef EGL_KHR_create_context" should be executed - but it apparently isn't.
Is it possible this section hasn't been compiled into the pre-built libraries? If I build SDL2.dll myself using the Visual C++ solution (VS2015 Community Update 3) then the call succeeds as I expect

Android haptic code was not added to CMakeLists.txt, leading to build failures when targeting Android platform.
Attached patch adds Android haptic driver to source sets and adds configuration parameter to SDL_config.h.cmake.

That's weird, these are the exact two functions that Emscripten incorrectly believed it had until we upgraded the buildbot's emsdk install.
Not sure what's up with this, but it's possibly not a MingW-specific thing!

I have occasional crashes here caused by the X11 backend of SDL2. It seems to
be caused by the X11_Pending function trying to add a high number (> 1024)
file descriptor to a fd_set before doing a select on it to avoid busy waiting
on X11 events. This causes a buffer overflow because the file descriptor is
larger (or equal) than the limit FD_SETSIZE.
Attached is a possible workaround patch.
Please also keep in mind that fd_set are also used in following files which
may have similar problems.
src/audio/bsd/SDL_bsdaudio.c
src/audio/paudio/SDL_paudio.c
src/audio/qsa/SDL_qsa_audio.c

I personally experienced this problem while hacking on the python bindings
package for SDL2 [1] (while doing make runtest). But it easier to reproduce in
a smaller, synthetic testcase.

Most ironically, although autoconf/automake-based builds install (pretty half-assed) CMake package configuration files, they're missing in installations resulting from CMake-based builds entirely.
A proper configuration file typically also loads target exports (implemented in patch 3572, also fixing this issue - see my comment on that issue for details).
I believe it would be best to let the dinosaurs go extinct and redirect all build efforts to the CMake end for two reasons:
1. It potentially provides the best user experience, but you'd have to give it some love and ship with less quirky buildfiles.
2. It would force distros to build SDL via CMake and thus would ensure target exports are actually available everywhere.
Various CMake patches I submitted today in summary (directly converted from the HG commits and `am`d onto a fork of a git mirror that happened to be on `tip`).
https://github.com/tschw/SDL/commits/patched
Fixing #2576#3572, #3613, and this fresh ticket, which is almost entirely advertisement ;).
These already do to make SDL much less of a quirky fella to have in your dependency tree...

The attached patch adds support for KMS/DRM context graphics.
It builds with no problem on X86_64 GNU/Linux systems, provided the needed libraries are present, and on ARM GNU/Linux systems that have KMS/DRM support and a GLES2 implementation.
Tested on Raspberry Pi: KMS/DRM is what the Raspberry Pi will use as default in the near future, once the propietary DispmanX API by Broadcom is overtaken by open graphics stack, it's possible to boot current Raspbian system in KMS mode by adding "dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d" to config.txt on Raspbian's boot partition.
X86 systems use KMS right away in every current GNU/Linux system.
Simple build instructions:
$./autogen.sh
$./configure --enable-video-kmsdrm
$make

This patch is wrong: the structure in question has nothing to do with any
gcc version in use. I suggest reverting this adding a conigury check for
it, instead. Something like the following should do it: (configure needs
regenerating.)

When building sdl as shared lib, the version info is lacking in the final binary.
CMake gathers the right resource files into ${VERSION_SOURCES} but then doesn't do anything with them.

I recently looked into Unicode support in SDL2 and realized that
SDL_TEXTEDITING doesn't get triggered at all (Japanese IME).
According to others on IRC it works fine on Windows/Mac but not
for me on (arch)Linux.
When compiling SDL with autotools, IBus support is enabled by
default but not so with CMake.
I never used CMake before but got it working and also included
that pkg-config determines flags for dbus (FIXME in CMakeLists).
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
