Description samaursa 2018-04-08 14:12:18 UTC 
The install commands work fine when the `SDL` is built and installed independently or `ExternalProject_Add` is used. 

However, when using `FetchContent` (as of CMake 3.11) the incorrect build directory is chosen causing an error when creating the symlink and copying the file.
