Cannot locate libsdl2-2.o.so file

  • 772

I'm following an SDL C++ tutorial and they advised me to copy that file (libsdl2-2.o.so) into my project file to remove any errors occurring if the code was on a different computer. I have installed both libsdl2-2.0 and libsdl2-dev onto my machine, but cannot find their files in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu (like in the tutorial). Is it maybe stored in a different location now, or what?

Note: I can run code including the SDL header with no problem, so it does exist on my computer, somewhere...

I did try

locate libsdl2-2.o.so

but with no luck

shared-library c++ locate sdl

  1. The correct file name is libSDL2-2.0.so.0 according to the search on packages.ubuntu.com.
