Problem loading SDL2 on Mac OS about python-tcod HOT 3 CLOSED

5 months ago I lost the ability to deploy wheels for versions of MacOS older than macosx_10_13_x86_64 due to SSL issues with those older versions of Python. On older or 32-bit MacOS tcod will try to build from source, and will end up skipping some post-packaging build steps designed to work around how MacOS links libraries.

MacOS is very strict on how it will dynamically link to libraries. If you want a usable workaround you'll need to rename the files from brew to match the path it asks for, or use the official SDL2 builds which tcod normally links to: https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php

I'll see if I can make the older wheels again or have tcod link to the files installed by brew.

That did the trick. Thank you!

I have macosx_10_6_intel wheels deploying again in tcod version 6.0.6. Be sure to say something if these don't work.

They bundle the SDL2 library so you should prefer them over the workaround.
