Fix typo

[aberba]

Misspelled package name

[WebFreak001]

no I'm pretty sure it's 2.0: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

[aberba]

Its actually 2, not 2.0. Just like the rest are all just 2. No 2.0. Exactly what I had to do to get it to work. There's 2.0 but that's not what I used. Its just ...2-dev

[WebFreak001]

are you on ubuntu?

[aberba]

Yes. elementary OS precisely but its Ubuntu based. Version 16.04 at the moment.

Do it's not 2.0, its just 2, just like the rest of the sdl packages I added. When you install the 2.0 one, it'll not work

[WebFreak001]

can you check if the ttf package is even needed? It might even be libsdl2-ttf-2.0 or libsdl2-ttf-dev which you need instead

[WebFreak001]

here apply this patch and then try to run the example game to see if it works (try without any sdl ttf packages installed first and then try installing until it works):
