Здравствуйте, Иван!
А вы не могли бы мне подсказать, как реализовать мобильное приложение с использованием библиотеки sdl2?
Все существующие гайды уже устарели, никак не могу решить эту проблему. Буду премного благодарен за любую помощь.

Not working at all on Mac even with setup for mac and vcpkg, LSP on neovim complains it cant find the SDL2/SDL.h files. Same with al tutorials on SDL and Mac, seems it just isnt compatible with latest
