There is no official "SDL SDK" but you can build one by following the instructions here:

http://www.spacejack.org/games/mingw/mingw-sdl.html

Steps:

1) Install the mingw cross-compiler environment for building windows applications for testing on wine: http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/winedev-guide/cross-compiling-tests

2) Download SDL-devel-1.2.11-mingw32.tar.gz (Mingw32) from http://www.libsdl.org/download-1.2.php , extract them to a folder and install (copy) the headers and libs to your mingw headers and libs locations.

3) run ./configure && make from within the SDL-1.2.11/test directory. This will produce native linux binaries and a Makefile.

4) As an exercise, edit the Makefile so that it will build using your cross-compiler instead of the native linux binaries you want to make windows .exe files! Save it as Make32. Modify it something like this:

... (several lines unmodified) ...

CC = i386-mingw32-gcc
EXE = .exe
CFLAGS = -mwindows
LIBS = -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL

... (several lines unmodified) ...

testgl$(EXE): $(srcdir)/testgl.c
$(CC) -o $@ $? $(CFLAGS) $(LIBS) -lm -lopengl32

... (several more lines unmodified) ...

5) Run make -f Make32 to build the windows .exe versions of the tests.

6) Run the tests on windows, on wine, on cygwin, or wherever you like.
Note* This is just a cross-compiling exercise. You should download and build the windows version of the tests to test wine.
