Wesnoth ran yesterday, not today.
I haven't had a problem with Wesnoth for ages, but today it doesn't run. If I try to run it from the terminal, I get the normal list of directories, then:
This is probably because my system gets updates on Sunday morning, so something is new, but that's never caused this kind of problem before. A quick search seems to indicate that this error is often a programming mistake--including header files in the wrong order or something, but that can't be the case here since it worked yesterday.
I don't really have time to follow rabbit holes right now (I wasn't actually planning to play), but maybe somebody already knows what's up?
BfW 1.14.7 and BfW 1.14.6
OpenSUSE Linux Leap 15.0
libSDL 2.0.8-lp150.2.3.1
Failed to create a SDL_Renderer object. Error »Couldn't find matching render driver«.
I tried removing the build directory and recompiling, and tried deleting my preferences file. I even tried rebooting the computer, which shows clueless I am. (I realize that that's the first thing you try with Windows, but not with Linux. I haven't rebooted in months.)This is probably because my system gets updates on Sunday morning, so something is new, but that's never caused this kind of problem before.

Re: Wesnoth ran yesterday, not today.
Sounds like an update to SDL broke something. It might be informative to see if your libSDL updated Sunday and, if so, if falling back to the previous version fixes your issue.
I forked real life and now I'm getting merge conflicts.
Re: Wesnoth ran yesterday, not today.
Yeah, that one broke Wesnoth for me too. Going back to the previous version fixed it.

Thanks doofus-01! That's what I needed. It works now.
