1) libsdl instead of -native (-native packages are used for
crosscompiling. OE installs some of them itself, while others are
distro-requirements)

2) To create your own image using the minimal-image:
Create a new file openembedded/recipes/images/<your-image>.bb:

require minimal-image.bb

IMAGE_INSTALL += "libsdl \
                  some-other-lib \
"

export IMAGE_BASENAME = "<your-image>"

And build `bitbake your-image`
