Build on Linux arm64 fails: `-lasound` not found

[Semphriss]

I'm trying to cross-compile SDL_mixer for arm64 on Ubuntu, but it fails at link time with cannot find -lasound2: No such file or directory.

My commands are the following:

git clone https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_mixer
cd SDL_mixer
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=aarch64 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc ..
make -j$(nproc)

The output is:

I have the latest SDL3 compiled for arm64 installed on my system.

You'll need to install libasound2-dev:arm64.

It's likely also a good idea to install other arm64 -dev packages for some or all of the other components that SDL_mixer can link to (libogg, libvorbis and so on), unless you are intentionally using the vendored mini-implementations.
