patch file to be applied to CMakeLists.txt to fix the issue

while building on OSX with CMAKE, the install step creates symlink from libSDL2-2.0.so to libSDL2.so, even though the former does not exist.

The culprit is here:

install(CODE "
      execute_process(COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -E create_symlink
      \"libSDL2-2.0.so\" \"libSDL2.so\")")

The patched lines have had changes since 2.0.4's release. Can you verify that the problem still exists in the latest code from Mercurial, and make a new patch if so?
Comment 2 rhiakath.flanders 2016-08-23 10:22:08 UTC 
Yes, it seems that the mercurial version works ok. Now I just have to see why it insists it needs X's header files on OSX, but that's another issue...
Comment 3 Sam Lantinga 2017-08-11 20:59:01 UTC 
Fixed in Mercurial, thanks!
