ITS still getting errors.

Yes the info that I could resume that step without rebuilding… worked. But the operation of ITS didn’t seem right. So I reran the whole thing again and it bombed further down.

I mean the 2 hr step that failing follows, a previous step that says “The repo comes with a handy script to install required dependencies”. So evidently that’s not true.

Package SDL2_image was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `SDL2_image.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'SDL2_image' found

compilation terminated.

So I found this suggestion on stack overflow…

apt install libsdl2-image-dev

It’s so confusing today. I jumped through similar hoops, in the early Slack days. Things to look at…

PKG_CONFIG_PATH, SDL2_image.pc, libsdl2

I had my day in the sun where I had to (and was paid to) do similar things on DEC & IBM hardware. And it was necessary in the early Linux days… if you wanted things to work. Now I have very little interest in chasing down solutions. I just want things to work. Especially when your told run this and it will take care of dependency issues.

OK that seemed to fix that problem.

On to the next problem…
