There is no need to bother with the libsdl stuff.

You find the necessary steps in Enigma in doc/README.mingw32. Read 
section 4 additional notes. All steps for a cross and native compilation 
should be explained. I recommend to stick to the described versions as 
none of the current SDL releases works for Windows! They all crash on 
the first default set of gamma somewhere deep within the SDL lib.

Greets,
