Compiling SDL_ttf on mingw

I just got SDL_image and SDL in general to compile and SDL tested out
perfectly (after i used ./configure --prefix=/mingw instead of just plain
old ./configure) i’ve gotten to the point where SDL_ttf wanted me to install
the freetype2 library, wich wanted me to install the freetype library, wich
wanted me to install xlib wich belongs to X11 (i think?) Am i on the right
track, or is there some easier way to do this? i’m kind of stumped at the
whole xlib thing. I basicaly got an error when making freetype when it
linked xlib. Can someone please give me a step by step? thanks!

P.S. (i have the latest versions of everything, i assure you :P)–
