i find the simplest way to get using SDL in the windows is to use 
bloodshed dev
c++ which has progect packages for SDL so you can download them easilly and
then all you need is a list like

-lmingw32
-mwindows
-lSDLmain
-lSDL
-lSDL_image
-lSDL_mixer
-lSDL_ttf

in the progect option -> parameters - linker window

then you are away, there are a few downsides to this, one, the packages 
are not
kept up to date ( i should probably deal with this for SDL as i am 
always using
it ;) ) and the bloodshed devc++ IDE is no longer active and as a few minor
bugs, but they rearely affect productrivity too much.


just thought i'd throw in my marshmellow of what i belive to be the 
easiest way
to get setup in the doze.
