On Debian sid/unstable with libsdl2-dev 2.24.0+dfsg-1, I get:

I encounterd with the similar issue on FreeBSD 13.1.
Do you have any clue how to fix that or maybe you already have found a workaround?

Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

cc pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2 -o example gifdec.c example.c

I use this and encounter the same problem.

I' fix it by using gcc -o example example.c gifdec.c -I/usr/local/include/SDL2 -lSDL2.I'll submit a pr.
