### Incompatibilities
#### `SDL_LIBC=OFF` and sanitizers
Building with `-DSDL_LIBC=OFF` will make it impossible to use the sanitizer, such as the address sanitizer.
Configure your project with `-DSDL_LIBC=ON` to make use of sanitizers.
## CMake FAQ
### How do I copy a SDL3 dynamic library to another location?

Use [CMake generator expressions](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-generator-expressions.7.html#target-dependent-expressions).
Generator expressions support multiple configurations, and are evaluated during build system generation time.
On Windows, the following example this copies `SDL3.dll` to the directory where `mygame.exe` is built.
On Unix systems, `$<TARGET_FILE:...>` will refer to the dynamic library (or framework).

On Unix systems, `$<TARGET_FILE:...>` will refer to the dynamic library (or framework),
and you might need to use `$<TARGET_SONAME_FILE:tgt>` instead.
Most often, you can avoid copying libraries by configuring your project with absolute [`CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.html)
and [`CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/variable/CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.html) paths.
When using a multi-config generator (such as Visual Studio or Ninja Multi-Config), eventually add `/$<CONFIG>` to both paths.
