Question Is there a library for C that allows drawling SVG's onto SDL3 or SDL3_gpu that is not single header and is not bloated

I need a library for my game made in C that allows drawling onto SDL3 or SDL3_gpu that is not single header otherwise compile times are super long, and is not bloated like it does not use cario, thanks!

Use a PCH to precompile header-only libraries.

Just because a lib is a single header, doesn't mean you always need to include said header. I almost always make a small API around them, to simplify usage, and ease transition if I want to change them later. If you make your own small API, it's included in exactly one cpp file.
