Games compilation howto on the Pinebook-pro (Manjaro Linux and Debian native)

[Luke]

@astr0baby I am encountering this issue with chocolate doom on default Debian. I assume this means that the SDL package in Debian 9 is too old? any way around this?

Code:

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables SDLNET_CFLAGS and SDLNET_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. lukasz@Debian-Desktop:~/chocolate-doom$
