I play the latest experimentals and when I try to update the game with this script:

#!/bin/bash  
repo=(“/home/user/Cataclysm-DDA”)  
cd “${repo}”  
git pull  
make clean  
make -j12 CLANG=1 CCACHE=1 NATIVE=linux64 RELEASE=1 TILES=1 SOUND=1 LUA=1 USE\_XDG\_DIR=1  
./cataclysm-tiles

I get this error:

> In file included from src/animation.cpp:29:  
> In file included from src/cata\_tiles.h:25:

SDL.h should be in /usr/include/SDL2/SDL.h installed by sdl2 package (check that).  
Check that your “gcc -v -E -” lists /usr/include. Other than that, no idea.

I can see the SDL.h file where you told me to look.  
I ran “gcc -v -E -” in the terminal and /usr/include does show up.

You were missing pkgconf? pkgconf is a component of a base-devel package, you should have had it installed before compiling anything at all.

> Most distros seem to package essential build tools as either a single package (Debian and derivatives have `build-essential`) or a package group (Arch has `base-devel`). You should use the above if available. Otherwise you’ll at least need `make` and figure out the missing dependencies as you go (if any).

Yep, base-devel was not installed. I just installed it.  
I’d like to think that a long time ago when I first started playing CDDA on Linux I did install base-devel, I don’t really remember ever removing it.
