The problems already start with getting the precompiled libraries from a trusted source. As far as I'm aware the SDL project doesn't host binaries for instance.

Yeah like these, somehow my google fu didn't bring that link up, only outdated forum posts from people looking for SDL binary releases.

No need for Google fu.

1 - Open https://www.libsdl.org/

2 - Download section on bottom left => SDL Releases

It has been there at least since SDL 2.0 early days, not feeling like tracking changes on Wayback Machine.
