Yes, I have it in the same directory and here's the first section:
C:\libraries\SDL-1.2.8\lib\libSDL.a(SDL_systimer.o)(.text+0x15) In function `SDL_StartTicks':
[Linker error] undefined reference to `timeBeginPeriod@4'
[Linker error] undefined reference to `timeGetTime@0'

Okay...can you show the code?
It looks like a timer problem...did you initialise the timer subsystem?

if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_AUDIO|SDL_INIT_TIMER) < 0){ std::cerr << "ERROR: <" << SDL_GetError() << ">" << std::endl; return false;}

The code isn't the problem, here. Now it's a case of the correct libraries not being linked. Not being over familiar with Dev-C++ (to the point of having uninstalled it a while back), I'm not sure why -- but it appears that the core windows and standard libraries may not be getting linked like they should. For a command line compile, this is done simply by adding the switch "-mwindows". Perhaps you could dig around and see if something like that got disabled or deleted.
EDIT (now that I thought of it): If nothing else, you could delete your Dev-C++ project file(s) (not your source, just the project file that Dev-C++ created), reinstall Dev-C++, and create a new Win32 project and add your source files in again (along with the linked libraries -lsdl and -lsdlmain). A long fix, I know, but worth a try if you can't figure it out.

Try:
if (SDL_Init (SDL_INIT_VIDEO|SDL_INIT_TIMER) < 0){ sprintf (msg, "Couldn't initialize SDL: %s\n", SDL_GetError ()); MessageBox (0, msg, "Error", MB_ICONHAND); free (msg); exit (1);}
I must say I tend to agree...if you've explicity included all libraries (via the browse type option), I am wondering if you have the project as a WIN32 gui project and it should be a WIN32 console project?
I know that the SDL projects I've done in the past with dev-c++ have been win32 console projects.
Straws and grasping at springs to mind though.
Sorry, not being much help to you.

If it helps, here's the SDL linker flags I use within Dev C++.
-lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_ttf -lSDL_mixer -lglu32 -lopengl32
You may not need anything from beyond -lSDL for now, though.

Okay.
As a test I created 1 win32 console app and compiled and ran the code fine, and another win32 windows application which also ran okay.
Both with Dev-c++ 4.9.9.2.
The only other suggestion I have is that you download and install the sdl dev-c++ devpack again???

Ok, think that I'm on the brink of it working!
All thats left is there's a syntax error in SDL_audio.h. The line of code is:
void (SDLCALL *filters[10]) (struct SDL_AudioCVT *cvt, Uint16 format);
With a syntax error before the [ token. Any suggestions? I've tried shifting around the code some, but I really don't want to mess up this header file..
