Does not work in Julia 1.10 on Ubuntu 22.04

[adamltaylor]

Super-helpful package, thank you for making it publicly available!

But just FYI, I tried to add this package to Julia 1.10.3 in Ubuntu 22.04.4. The precompilation step failed with this error:

ERROR: LoadError: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile:

Hi,

I have the same issue, with Linux Mint 21.3 and Julia 1.10.3.

One temporary fix I found is to downgrade to the last version not using the jll packages:

add SimpleDirectMediaLayer@0.1.1

Ahh, ok, thanks for that. Partly for this issue, partly b/c of a seeming SDL/Cairo conflict, I had simply copied the main .jl files out of both those packages, modified them slightly, and then installed the system SDL2 and Cairo using apt. Non-ideal in several ways, but it seems to be working at the moment.

I'm also having this issue, worked around it by installing FFMPEG.jl before installing SimpleDirectMediaLayer.

Hey @adamltaylor , can you check now? I created a pr for a related package, and as a side effect, @giordano raised this pr: JuliaRegistries/General#111347 to fix that issue, as it was blocking my pr. It looks like it has fixed it for this as well. I think we should be able to close this issue now. I ran all the tests on my fork and the ubuntu ones are passing now. They were all failing before this pr.

At work now, will test this evening or this weekend. Thank you @Kyjor for your efforts!
