Leonardo Despite having a CMakeLists.txt file, SDL2 seems to be mainly built using the autotools system by package-managers. It is nice to have it but it is only useful if you are building SDL2 by yourself. People that want to use CMake to find their already-installed SDL2 are using a FindSDL2.cmake module based on the old FindSDL.cmake. This is not deprecated but it is discouraged by the CMake devs (see http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14826), as these modules needs maintainers to be included in the official CMake installation. To fix that, SDL and its accompanying libraries could configure a simple sdl2-config.cmake file, much like it does with sdl2.pc.in. We don't need to configure a full sdl2-config.cmake as in this post, http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=10068&sid=ccf8abbf0d73fb03ae9cded991e60959 (because it depends on it being built with CMake). Using something as simple as http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Tutorials/Packaging#Package_Configuration_Files is deemed enough. Here is another: http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=prison.git&a=blob&f=lib%2Fprison%2FPrisonConfig.cmake.in

http://www.libsdl.org/
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed
to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics
hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. It is used by video playback software,
emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog
and many Humble Bundle games.
More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting
with README.md
Enjoy!
