* Failed Running autoconf !
SDL2 installs it to /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/aclocal on cross hosts, attached patch makes use of CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_DATAROOTDIR to support correctly installing to the arch independent location /usr/share/aclocal.

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().
