Looks like you are trying to compile 64-bit OpenMW with 32-bit SDL, or 32-bit OpenMW with 64-bit SDL.

I have 64 bit sdl:
Code: Select all
akiss@debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep sdl
ii libsdl-image1.2:amd64 1.2.12-5+b8 amd64 Image loading library for Simple DirectMedia Layer 1.2, libraries

How do I build 64bit openmw?

On github I see that openmw now uses libsdl 2.0.7. Maybe that's the problem? I have the distribution version for debian 9 (2.0.4).

libsdl version was the problem. I did a make and make install of libsdl 2.0.7, and it compiled successfully. Was debian 9 given up on?

Do not use the "make install" on Linux: it may lead to troubles if you will decide to upgrade/remove installed package.
Usually you can use packages from testing repos, or build and install your own package for your distro (via checkinstall, for example).

Actually, 2.0.5, judging by your dpkg output.

Thank you for the responses. If I install from testing won't that be just as bad? I want to learn more about linux, that's why I'm asking. Thank you for any advice.

Definely better than "make install".
Generally, you should build your own package (*.deb in your case) only if there are no suitable packages in repos.
FYI: recently one guy failed to compile OpenMW, because he had
two versions of OSG installed: one from repos, and one installed via "make install" a long time ago.

How do I remove libsdl 2.0.7 I just make installed? By manually deleting it?
