Install SDL in CLION

I try to install SDL in Clion with a C project. I dowload the ZIP SDL ( librairies dev ), I add the include and lib folder and I change my CMakeList.txt like :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.8)
project(Projet1)

set(CMAKE_C_STANDARD 99)
include_directories( ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include)
link_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/lib)

set(SOURCE_FILES main.c include lib)
add_executable(Projet1 ${SOURCE_FILES})

I have this :

enter image description here

Is it the good configuration?

This problem is actually separate from CLion, you'll need to install SDL in whatever way is supported by or OS (win32 exe, apt-get, brew, etc).

There is a cmake module called FindSDL2 which is basically the de-facto standard for making cmake include SDL2. You'll want to download this file and put it in a folder called cmake in the root of your project.

After that, you'll want to modify your CMakeLists.txt file to be something like this :

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(Project1)

# includes cmake/FindSDL2.cmake
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake)

find_package(SDL2 REQUIRED)
include_directories(${SDL2_INCLUDE_DIR})

set(SOURCE_FILES src/main.cpp)

add_executable(Project1 ${SOURCE_FILES})
target_link_libraries(Project1 ${SDL2_LIBRARY})

This answer is paraphrased from this blog post.
