codeblocks - SDL 2.0: linking error

Question

I know that similar questions had been asked but none of the answers helped me...

I wrote a simple SDL program:

#include "SDL.h"
int main( int argc, char* args[] )
{
//Start SDL
SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING );

//Quit SDL
SDL_Quit();

return 0;
}

using Code:Blocks. I followed this tutorial http://lazyfoo.net/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/windows/codeblocks/index.php but I still cannot compile. Here is the build log:

mingw32-g++.exe -LC:SDLSDL2libx86 -o binDebugest.exe objDebugest.o  -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2   -mwindows

Any idea?

The correct link to follow for setting up SDL2.0 for Code::Blocks is http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/01_hello_SDL/windows/codeblocks/index.php. This will help to make the correct setup.

The 32bit libraries are in i686-w64-mingw32 folder.
