Just that a bug existed for a long time does not mean it is not a bug. > Please remove --enable-sdl2 because it makes people think it > works the way you expected it to work. The problem is really not that people think it works that way, but rather that it actually works in a very confusing way. Using --enable-sdl2 while libsdl2-dev is not installed does not cause a configure failure, as it should, but instead causes the build to fail later. Thus it achieves the desired end result, but in a very confusing way. I really think this should be fixed.
