Build SDL3_ttf.DLL from Linux

SDL Development
1

I can build an SDL3.DLL + SDL3_image.dll without any problems using the following commands:
SDL3:

cmake -S ../SDL/ -B . -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="BOTH" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="BOTH" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME="Windows" --install-prefix ~/SDL_win64_DLL

SDL3_image:

cmake -S ../SDL_image/ -B . -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="BOTH" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="BOTH" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME="Windows" --install-prefix ~/SDL_win64_DLL

But when I try to build an SDL3_ttf.dll, I get an error because of “Freetype”.

cmake -S ../SDL_ttf -B . -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++" -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc" -DCMAKE_RC_COMPILER="/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH="/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE="BOTH" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY="ONLY" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM="BOTH" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME="Windows" --install-prefix ~/SDL_win64_DLL

Does anyone have an idea how to get around this?

I once tried to install Freetype via cross compiler. The DLLs were then copied to /usr/local/bin by default.
Afterwards I tried again to build the SDL3_tty.dll. I still get the same error even though I removed the install prefix.
SDL3, SDL3_net, SDL3_image, SDL3_mix all work.

One an idea how I need to handle the FreeType it is recognized by SDL3_ttf.
