Description Stephen Broadfoot 2020-12-15 05:03:58 UTC 
I've tracked this down to the following changeset 99d8b18acf8a

https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/diff/99d8b18acf8a/Makefile.in

this changeset renames the rule `build` to `build/.created` but the rule `install-lib` still depends on the rule `build`


This affects users who are trying to install via homebrew who are installing via source and not by the bottle as this invokes `make install`

We should fix the makefile and then update the homebrew formula on github at

Comment 1 Stephen Broadfoot 2020-12-15 05:06:29 UTC 
To be clear, the error I was hitting when running make install is

make: *** No rule to make target `build', needed by `install-lib'.  Stop.
