:Also, a SDK is something entirely different: a SDK has these two key attributes: 1. It is that which you need to write software ''which interacts with something else in particular'' -- some hardware, some host application, some platform, whatever (e.g. "iPhone SDK", "Java ME SDK", "Source SDK", etc etc). —2. and itIt is ''not just a library'' but also one or more of an IDE (or plugin for an IDE), documentation, header files if applicable, test suites, compilers (especially cross-compilers, for mobile devices, microcontrollers, etc), other toolchain components, etc. An SDK is a big glob of stuff useful to developers, ''almost none of which goes into your program''; it's ''the stuff you need to write/compile/build the program''. —[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 00:13, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
