You should not lump SDL together with FLTK, Tcl/Tk and Matlab GUI, because it is not a GUI library, not intended to be one. Reading from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer : <<< Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) is a cross-platform, free and open source multimedia library written in C that presents a simple interface to various platforms' graphics, sound, and input devices. SDL has the word "layer" in its title because it is actually a wrapper around operating-system-specific functions. The main purpose of SDL is to provide a common framework for accessing these functions. For further functionality beyond this goal, many libraries have been created to work on top of SDL.[1] >>> > complete (lots of widgets, internationalization and localization support > etc) if the prototype turns into something bigger than was initially > envisioned.
