Adding SDL library to my program

Question

there are a few questions on that already, but all askers are, lets say it, one level above me. All I know there are some download links here and that I should probably download SDL-1.2.15-win32-x64.zip (64-bit Windows) to match my system and SDL-devel-1.2.15-mingw32.tar.gz (Mingw32) to match my compiler. Now what? The development archive contains some C++ project and I have no idea, what should I do with it. What files to include? What files to link in linker?

Edit:

Info

System: Windows 7x64
IDE: Code::Blocks Compiler: G++

So the actual answer to my question is just the link to this manual for dummies: http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/index.php
Here anyone can choose his environment to get the help. I get no credits to this answer - @Ergo Proxy has posted it as comment to my question. But this is what I needed.
