No problem. It also occurs to me the pkg-config command might be an effective way to find the libraries you want, if your system has it. It keeps a bunch of text files somewhere on your system for it to process and spit out for you on demand.
Code:
$ pkg-config --libs sdl
-lSDL -lpthread
$ gcc program-using-sdl.c $(pkg-config --libs --cflags sdl)
$

Some GNU/Linux distributions include the compiler cache ccache which significantly speeds up GCC operations under certain conditions. You may not be even aware that it is installed and operational.

Gentoo won't let you report bugs unless you disable ccache. It can cause problems. I'd be surprised if a distro used it by default.

pkg-config is there with my system; however what does this command mean?
The one in () braces?

It's using the output of pkg-config sdl --libs --cflags as parameters for gcc. In the first usage I show you how it works, in the second usage I show you how to feed those commandline parameters directly into gcc..
