Need Help Installing New Library To Code::Blocks

Hey guys, I need help installing a library called "SDL_draw".

It can be found at: SDL_draw

I'm really confused on how to install this. I have already installed "SDL.h", and "SDL_image.h", two seperate libraries, before and worked perfectly but for this library I cannot find a lib folder, nor a sdl_draw.dll file.

Yes this is the current version, and there was a text file which read:

Code::Blocks 8.02 Instructions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- First Build "SDL_draw_static.dev"
- Then you can build "sdldrawtest.dev" (exe with SDL_draw static library and SDL.dll)
- At any time you can build "SDL_draw_dynamic.dev" to get "SDL_draw.dll"
- The static and dynamic libraries, and the executable 'sdldrawtest.exe'
are in current directory (you need SDL.dll in this directory to run sdldrawtest.exe).

I know how to build these by using right click, but what do I do from there? And I tried building "SDL_draw_dynamic.dev to get the "SDL_draw.dll" but the only file that appears is the layout file of it?

I have tried googling but there is literally no tutorials over it. There was one I found but I don't really understand it. Can any one help me?

P.S. the tutorial I found was found here: Building Libraries (for SDL) - GameDev.net

Thanks in advance!!

NOTE: These directions are for using an MinGW GCC compiler under 32 bit windows.

NOTE: These directions are done with the idea of you knowing how to use Code::Blocks basics and that you put the SDL.dll in a folder in the system path manually.

I download SDL-devel-1.2.15-mingw32.tar.gz from Simple DirectMedia Layer
I extracted SDL-devel-1.2.15-mingw32.tar.gz the files into folder C:\3rdPartyLibs\SDL-1.2.15
This folder has several sub folders you need to confirm the sub folder lib and include exist.

Next, I created an Code::Blocks Global Variable with these settings

name: sdl
base: C:\3rdPartyLibs\SDL-1.2.15
include: C:\3rdPartyLibs\SDL-1.2.15\include\SDL

I modified the project files in sdl_draw CodeBlocks folder to make them work.
SDL_draw_dynamic.cbp changes
changing library name from "SDL\lib\libSDL.dll.a" to "libSDL.dll.a"
remove "debug" compiler search directories of "SDL\include" and "..\include"
add "project" compiler search directories of "$(#sdl.include)" and "..\include"
add "project" linker search directories of "$(#sdl.lib)"
sdldrawtest.cbp changes
change "project" compiler search director from "SDL\include" to "$(#sdl.include)"
changing library name from "SDL\lib\libSDL.dll.a" to "libSDL.dll.a"
add "project" linker search directories of "$(#sdl.lib)"
