Linux - How to link with SDL2 SO file?

[stretchthebits]

I followed the steps at
https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-qmake-libraries.html

to link to OpenGL, libpng, libjpeg, but I am unable to link to SDL2 since the file does not end with .SO

The file name in the case of SDL2 is
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0

and the add file dialog filter has *lib, *.a, *.so

You can edit the qmake .pro file manually, .e.g add a line like this:
LIBS += /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0

@hskoglund said in Linux - How to link with SDL2 SO file?:

LIBS += /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libSDL2-2.0.so.0

Should be
LIBS += -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lSDL2-2.0
on Linux.

Actually, it looks like it wants
LIBS += -lSDL2

and so, the above compiled and runs.
