Answer 1

You need to run

• sdl2-config --cflags which will give you the compile flags, and
• sdl2-config --libs which will give you the linker flags

needed for using SDL2.

The flags will vary by platform which is why you should use sdl2-config instead of hardcoding some specific flags into your Makefile or other build script.
