My sdl2 library:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Github/ioq3$ pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2
-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/SDL2 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -Wl,–enable-new-dtags -lSDL2

It seems to me that the header should instead be included with: include “SDL2/SDL_version.h”.
Am I missing something here and doing something wrong?

Okay I found the issue. I was somehow missing files in /usr/include/SDL2. I did

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

and it now compiles.
