Hello everyone,

unfortunately, I'm stuck here. I'm trying to compile a program that
uses SDL2 on a Mac with macOS Ventura and Apple Silicon. I don't want
to link against the library, but against the framework. I provide the
following parameters, which worked under macOS Monterey:

Quotefpc spri]"]>Blockedve.pas -Ff/Library/Frameworks
However, under Ventura, I only get the following error messages:

QuoteLinking spri]"]>Blockedve
ld: library not found for -lSDL2
An error occurred while linking
spri]"]>Blockedve.pas(72,32) Error: Error while linking
spri]"]>Blockedve.pas(72,32) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling
module, stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppca64 returned an error exitcode

What am I doing wrong? By the way, it works perfectly fine with clang
when I compile a C programm using SDL2 like this:

Quoteclang SDLTest.c -o SDLTest
-I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers -F/Library/Frameworks
-framework SDL2

I can go one better. I'm getting similar build failures after a fresh
install of Lazarus 2.2.6 on macOS 13.6 Ventura. This time with a
completely blank project 😮
