-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL

Also, don't forget to add the -mwindows flag, if your IDE doesn't add it automatically (in addition to whatever other libraries you want to link). If you don't put them in the right order, you'll get a linker error complaining about the missing symbol WinMain@16.

Try recompiling with those flags above and see whether that makes a difference.
