I tried to download the SDL library from this particular link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTQkCRxr6lk&t=194s .However I stumbled upon a "fatal error" and I have no clue what to do in order to solve it.
Here's what error I got:
1>------ Build started: Project: SDL2, Configuration: Release x64 ------
2>------ Skipped Build: Project: uninstall, Configuration: Release x64 ------
2>Project not selected to build for this solution configuration

@Neri-kun I ran into exactly the same problem when building SDL2 on VS2019. It seems that memset
is in vcruntime.dll
, which is not included in CMakeLists.txt
. So find the following part in CMakeLists.txt
and add vcruntime
to the EXTRA_LIBS
. Problem solved:
# Libraries for Win32 native and MinGW
- list(APPEND EXTRA_LIBS user32 gdi32 winmm imm32 ole32 oleaut32 version uuid advapi32 shell32)
+ list(APPEND EXTRA_LIBS vcruntime user32 gdi32 winmm imm32 ole32 oleaut32 version uuid advapi32 shell32)
