error with SDL2/SDL2_ttf

[hlimbo]

I'm trying to port a game clone I developed from the PC to the PS Vita. I tried following the solution for this resolved issue: #58 but their solution does not work for me. I'm running into linker errors when linking SDL2_ttf dependency for the project.

Operating System: Windows 10
Terminal Used: Ubuntu on Windows

The lib file is currently in the vita sdk folders:

ls /usr/local/vitasdk/arm-vita-eabi/lib/ | grep libSDL2_ttf
libSDL2_ttf.a

Here is my target link libraries from my CMakeLists.txt

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
  SDL2
  SDL2_ttf
  SceDisplay_stub
  SceCtrl_stub
  SceAudio_stub
  SceSysmodule_stub
  SceGxm_stub
  SceCommonDialog_stub
  SceAppMgr_stub
  SceTouch_stub
  SceHid_stub
  SceMotion_stub

For anyone else running into this issue, I was able to compile my .vpk file successfully by including the following library dependencies in the target_link_libraries section:

target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME}
  SDL2
  SDL2_ttf
  # SDL2_ttf dependencies
  -lfreetype
  -lpng
  -lz
  SceDisplay_stub
  SceCtrl_stub
  SceAudio_stub
  SceSysmodule_stub
  SceGxm_stub
  SceCommonDialog_stub
  SceAppMgr_stub
  SceTouch_stub
  SceHid_stub
  SceMotion_stub
  m
)

In the terminal in the following path: /usr/local/vitasdk/arm-vita-eabi/lib, you must have the following libraries installed:

libz.a
libfreetype.a
libpng.a

This can be done by running the install-all.sh command from instructions on https://vitasdk.org/.
