Building SDL_ttf 1.2.2 (did i miss something ?)

i have w2000, cygnus & cygwin.
i want to play with ParaGUI, for this i need SDL_ttf, freetype, SDL
but i can’t manage.

here is my actual problem.

i have downloaded development version of SDL 1.2.1 (and copied libs
in /mingw32/lib, and header in /mingw32/include/SDL)

i have unsuccesfully install freetype (make setup & make work but
make install fail), so i copy libfreetype.a in /lib

i try to build SDL_ttf.
configure fail, so i look in the directory and see there is a lot of
strange file (i am less than a newbie with configure) but only
one “.c” file. so i try a home made makefile.

woups.
after fixing header path (as i don’t install header where it suppose)
i encounter what seems a big bug !

at line 38, 39, 49, … of SDL_ttf.c there a reference to TT_Raster_Map
struct. but i can’t find definition for such struct, even while
searching
on my disk…

how could freetype compile ?
does anyone who builds it on windows could help me ?

BTW i am trying to build ParaGUI, just in case there is trouble to
build it on windows, can someone advice me for futur problem ?

SDL_ttf 1.2.2 uses freetype 1.x
my guess is you are using it with freetype 2.x
