[SDL3.x] make / cmake Build Parameters

Anyway, back to your question, as I said before, you can set the value of cache variables during initial configuration with the -D option:
-D <var>[:<type>]=<value> = Create or update a cmake cache entry.
For example cmake -D variable=value .

This is what I have now done, I entered it manually with -Dxxx, note the last 2 lines.

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" \
  -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_freetype2="/usr/local/include/freetype2" \
  -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build="/usr/local/include/freetype2"

I have now done this, I entered it manually with -Dxxx, note the last 2 lines.

But the error still occurs as described here: Build SDL3_ttf.DLL from Linux

But when I check it with cmake-gui, the changes have been applied. Now I just have to click [Generate] without changing anything and there is a working Makefile
