MacOS build error: 'SDL2/SDL_main.h' file not found

[manta-ranching]

Since I got SDL framework installed to the right directory, make does find SDL.h However, now it's failing to find SDL_main.h. In fact this is in the same directory as SDL.h. But build is expecting to find it somewhere else?

Compiling on M2.

Full output:

% make USE_VULKAN=0

Using older SDL binaries fixed this issue: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases?q=2.0.22

......however, after compiling with SDL 2.0.22 I experienced an issue where my mouse movement would be restricted ingame.

Compiled again with this SDL version: https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/download/release-2.0.18/SDL2-2.0.18.dmg

Now q3e is running smoothly!

I believe this is now resolved. I no longer have to use 2.0.18 for my intel macbook, latest build working without any issues.
