'common-sdl.h' file not found — MacOS Sonoma

[joshfarrant]

When trying to make any of the examples requiring common-sdl.h I run into

command.cpp:9:10: fatal error: 'common-sdl.h' file not found

I've installed sdl2 using brew, and I've even tried building from source, but no joy.

Any suggestions appreciated, thanks

Same issue - MacOS Sonoma. Macbook Air M1.
make stream
c++ stream.cpp -o stream
stream.cpp:5:10: fatal error: 'common-sdl.h' file not found
#include "common-sdl.h"
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
make: *** [stream] Error 1

It seems likely that this error comes from not compiling in the root directory. I am on Linux however if you attempt to compile from within the directory this is the error you get:

whisper.cpp/examples/stream$ make stream
g++     stream.cpp   -o stream
stream.cpp:6:10: fatal error: common/sdl.h: No such file or directory
    6 | #include "common/sdl.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [<builtin>: stream] Error 1

The solution is simply to cd ../../ to go to the root dir then compile.

As such I don't think its a bug so much as perhaps a clarification needed in the docs.

"The solution is simply to cd ../../ to go to the root dir then compile." --- it works

Wich command should I run from the root directory to compile? I've never worked with cmake before, I'm trying to run make command, make command -C examples/command, but it isn't working.
