Amazing! This was it!
@sanette Thanks for your troubleshooting steps. I was working through them before @jbeckford replied. I did manage to get a window running in C with SDL, too.

Dear all,
I’m happy to announce a brand new version of Bogue, version 20240928, now availble on opam.
Changes are mostly under the hood. We have nice improvements by @edwin : automatic monitor vsync is now enabled by default, for smoother animations, and most importantly we finally align with the latest version of tsdl. It will simplify maintenance, but it also implies that too old versions of SDL will not work anymore. On the other hand we were kind of obliged to move forward, because tsdl.0.9.8 won’t install on ocaml 5.2.
- if you’re on Ubuntu 20.04, installing Bogue with
opam install boguewill by default pulltsdl.1.1.0in, which requires SDL >= 2.0.18, not shipped by the OS. A workaround is to explicitly requireopam install tsdl.1.0.0(or manually installing a newer SDL) - if your OS ships SDL < 2.0.10 you have no other choice than manually installing a newer SDL (which is not that complicated)
Happy bogue-ing!

Dear all,
I’m happy to announce a new version of Bogue, version 20250224, now available on opam.
The main novelty is a brand new File dialog. It will open a new window (or popup) which will let the user navigate the file system and select one or more files or directories.
This corresponds to the new File module.
You might also be interested in the Monitor submodule, which implements a file monitoring API based on fswatch (if available) or Unix.stat.
If you are curious, here is a graphical summary of the current functionalities of Bogue’s file dialog (I hope that more will be added soon; I’m open to suggestions)
PS: @Sachindra_Ragul, yes we did it finally 
better late than never
