Hi Bernd,

While trying this patch with the following commands:

cat >.config <<EOF
BR2_aarch64=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SDL3=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SDL3_X11=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7=y
EOF
make olddefconfig
make sdl3

I had the following error:

CMake Error at cmake/macros.cmake:433 (message):
   Couldn't find dependency package for XFIXES.  Please install the 
needed
   packages or configure with -DSDL_X11_XFIXES=OFF

Could you have a look, please?

I did not checked if there is other instances of those dependency 
checks.
