I wrote a small CMake script to build SDL2_gfx on Windows (the final frontier) in an Anaconda Python environment. I did the same for SDL2 and pysdl2, and they are working correctly. However, the sdl2_gfx module prints the following error message when being imported:
>>> import sdl2
>>> import sdl2.sdlgfx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sdl2\sdlgfx.py", line 63, in <module>
SDL_initFramerate = _bind("SDL_initFramerate", [POINTER(FPSManager)])
File "C:\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\sdl2\dll.py", line 87, in bind_function
(funcname, self._dll))
ValueError: could not find function 'SDL_initFramerate' in <CDLL 'C:\Anaconda3\Library\bin\SDL2_gfx.dll', handle 7ffb05e30000 at 0x1f703f544a8>
I don't know where to look for the source of this problem, since there are no compilation errors!
For completeness, here is my CMakeLists.txt:
# Written by Daniel Schreij on 1 Nov 2016

set(PROJECT_NAME "SDL2_gfx")
project(${PROJECT_NAME})

set(IS_LIBRARY true)

Nothing out of the ordinary, as far as I can see?
On windows exported symbols have to be explicitly marked. SDL_gfx expects DLL_EXPORT flag to be defined when building dll.
Add
set_target_properties(${PROJECT_NAME} PROPERTIES DEFINE_SYMBOL "DLL_EXPORT")
to your cmake file.
