I got a brand new laptop with OSX 10.15.6 (19G73) and ran into the same error trying to install from source. It worked after doing the following following @aclysma’s advice above:
1. I updated `sdl2-sys` version to `0.34.2` in `Cargo.toml`.

2. `cargo update --package sdl2-sys --precise 0.34.2`

It works to me also (macOS 10.15.7)

woohoo! - this solution worked for me as well. I’ve been using neovide for about 6 months and have been loving it. Thank you!

I had compiled neovide without issue 6 months ago, and ran into this same issue today when I pulled down the latest and greatest. I’m on 10.15.7

and yup. the following worked

1. I updated sdl2-sys version to 0.34.2 in Cargo.toml.
2. cargo update --package sdl2-sys --precise 0.34.2

Do you think this is something that should be added to the install docs? or perhaps downgrade sdl2-sys on the repo src?
