[question] sdl2_ttf/2.0.15: cannot find SDL2 package #1360
Description
(Marked as a question because I'm not sure if it's my fault or not)
I'm using Conan for a project and sometimes (depending on build configuration?) I encounter this error when building sdl2_ttf:
CMake Error at source_subfolder/CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package):
By not providing "FindSDL2.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "SDL2", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "SDL2" with any of
the following names:
SDL2Config.cmake
sdl2-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "SDL2" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"SDL2_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "SDL2"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
I'm able to reproduce this using this conanfile.txt:
[requires]
sdl2/2.0.14@bincrafters/stable
sdl2_ttf/2.0.15@bincrafters/stable
[generators]
visual_studio
[options]
sdl2:iconv=False
sdl2:shared=False
sdl2:sdl2main=False
Putting it into an empty folder and doing conan install . --build results in this build config:
(I am on the latest version of conan, 1.33.1)
Configuration:
[settings]
arch=x86_64
arch_build=x86_64
build_type=Release
compiler=Visual Studio
compiler.runtime=MD
compiler.version=16
os=Windows
os_build=Windows
[options]
[build_requires]
[env]

Which leads to the error at the top.
I'm not very familiar with cmake and I'm relatively new to conan so I'm not sure if this is a problem on my end or if it's with the sdl2_ttf package.
Hopefully someone more experienced has some insight as to what would cause this.
