SDL project CMake build failure - c++

Question

I try to set up an SDL project using CMake, but it seems like the executable isn't linked properly.
This is the CMakeLists.txt I use
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
project(MuspellsheimR)
# includes cmake/FindSDL2.cmake
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake/modules)
# find SDL2
find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR})
set(SOURCE_FILES src/main.cpp)
add_executable(MuspellsheimR ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(MuspellsheimR ${SDL_LIBRARY})
src/main.cpp looks like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <SDL.h>
int main(int, char**){
if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0){
std::cout << "SDL_Init Error: " << SDL_GetError() << std::endl;
return 1;
}
SDL_Quit();
return 0;
}
Here is the log output.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

SDL_LIBRARY is the wrong variable. You need to use SDL2_LIBRARY.
