Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Any idea how I could locate it? I don't even know what filenames to look for...

The cause is in the provided linker output. Removal of /usr/local/lib/libSDL2.so should fix those errors.

Indeed you probably want to remove your presumably self compiled version of SDL2 in /usr/local. Files to look for and remove would be:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/lib/libSDL2*
/usr/local/lib/cmake/SDL2
/usr/local/include/SDL2
Then remove your GZDoom build directory and run CMake fresh.
