[here](https://discourse.libsdl.org/t/how-is-sdl2-supposed-to-be-used-with-cmake/31275/16).
As a solution, you should update your SDL packages to SDL >=2.0.12 or **compile the latest SDL2 and SDL2-image from
source**. The latest version includes the necessary CMake files to expose the `SDL2::SDL2` target.

## Building on Debian 12
On Debian you might get an error saying that it couldn't find SDL2 library. This happens because the CMAKE prefix and SDL2 path are not set correctly.
The solution is to append at the end of the `./configure` command the cmake variables for both the prefix and SDL2 path, like so:
`./configure <your configure opts> -- -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr -DSDL2_DIR=/usr/include/SDL2` (you can use `find` to look for the correct paths)
