Compiling for linux with SDL2 only? (Issue #26000)
Pedro Güida
Ultrahead created an issue (wxWidgets/wxWidgets#26000)Is there any way to compile the widgets without using gtk, wayland, x, qt? And just depend on SDL2?
In other words, is there a version of wxWidgets for Linux that is SDL2-based, only?

Short answer: no.
Longer answer: wxUniv could be modified to use SDL instead of DirectFB.

It's the latter. The abscense of everything but SDL2. The platform is a Linux-based ARM64 retro-game consoles -Trimui Smart Pro- that has a Frankenstein GPU driver that is not supported by any backend by default.
The manufacturers had to tailor a version of SDL2 for it: although it's a PowerVR GPU they'd done it through a patch available for MALI.
And to make matters worse, package managers have been truncated for this OS (TinaLinux 4.x). There is no way to get packages other than by compiling it on a systems close to it, like for instance, Debian 11:11.
