I can't get SDL to work with Dev-C++

Here's what I've got:

- Dev-C++ version 4.9.9.0

I downloaded SDL from www.libsdl.org: (SDL 1.2)
Under runtime libraries I picked:
- SDL-1.2.7-win32.zip

Under developement libraries I picked 2:
- SDL-devel-1.2.7-VC6.zip
- SDL-devel-1.2.7-mingw32.tar.gz

After copying both "include" and "library" files into Dev-C++'s "include" and "library" files I opened Dev-C++.

I started a new project and went to Project Options
(remember I have version 4.9.9.0)
The under parametres in the linker box I wrote:

-lmingw32
-mwindows
-lSDLmain
-lSDL

(with the l at the beginning being a l as in lame or light)

Then I tried to compile this:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <SDL/SDL.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

Still it doesn't work....HEEEEELP!!!
