I've done some more investigation on this and I see the mistake I made.

I needed to download the source code version of SDL and not the
SDL-devel-1.2.12-mingw32.tar.gz to get the configure.

For anyone else that might encounter a similar issue, I also found a website
which steps through how to manually install SDL
