Well, typically you add the sourcefile to the Makefile.in and rerun the 
autotools or type 'make', which does this for you.

Just one remark though: sometimes, the Makefile.in is generated, too, from the 
Makefile.am (I hope I'm not switching those around now, don't have the SDL 
sources in front of me). Then, you add the sourcefile(s) to that file of 
course.
