Is this software linking to SDL statically? As far as I can see from the
pkg-config file, these are going to be required for static linking but not
for the more typical dynamic linking to shared libraries.

SDL cannot be used in a completely statically-linked executable, because
some of its dependencies are only available as shared libraries, but
SDL itself can be linked statically by some build systems.

(Either way, it's a SDL packaging bug, and I'll add the missing
-dev dependencies in a future upload.)
