DevilutionX::SDL carried libdevilutionx_sdl2_to_1_2_backports, so linking SDL pulled in our own compatibility shims, and with them libdevilutionx_strings and libdevilutionx_utils_console. Anything that only wanted the SDL headers got a chunk of devilutionX behind them. Drop it from DevilutionX::SDL and let the targets that actually use the shims say so. That is every target whose objects reference a symbol defined by sdl2_to_1_2_backports.cpp, found by matching the undefined symbols in each object library against the ones it defines. Object libraries do not link, so a missing dependency here is invisible at build time: the archive reached the executable through whichever target happened to name it. The dependency is PUBLIC where one of the target's own headers reaches utils/sdl2_to_1_2_backports.h and PRIVATE where only its .cpp files do. libdevilutionx_paths already declared it and is moved to PRIVATE on the same rule: only utils/paths.cpp includes the header, utils/paths.h does not.

What is DevilutionX
DevilutionX is a port of Diablo and Hellfire that strives to make it simple to run the game while providing engine improvements, bug fixes, and some optional quality of life features.
Check out the manual for available features and how to take advantage of them.
For a full list of changes, see our changelog.
How to Install
Note: You'll need access to the data from the original game. If you don't have an original CD, you can buy Diablo from GoG.com or Battle.net. Alternatively, you can use spawn.mpq from the shareware [2] version, in place of DIABDAT.MPQ, to play the shareware portion of the game.
Download the latest DevilutionX release and extract the contents to a location of your choosing or build from source.
- Copy
DIABDAT.MPQfrom the CD or Diablo installation (or extract it from the GoG installer) to the DevilutionX folder. - To run the Diablo: Hellfire expansion, you will also need to copy
hellfire.mpq,hfmonk.mpq,hfmusic.mpq, andhfvoice.mpq.
For more detailed instructions: Installation Instructions.
