You’re probably not linking with libSDL, then. Can you post the
command-line arguments being sent to gcc, and the errors you are
getting back?

(3) Is SDL window will effect any existing running Graphics program.

Unsure what you’re asking here. SDL doesn’t necessarily use a
window; if it does, it probably won’t affect other windows.

(4) Is SDL is Suitable for my requirements

Probably not: if I understand correctly, you want an application with
multiple windows. You’d probably be better off with GUI-centric
libraries such as GTK+ or Qt; SDL is primarily intended for games and
similar applications: in particular, it is intended to use only one
"window" (or whatever).

HTH,
