make SDL fails on Arch Linux


Hi all,

I have set up Eclipse + CDT on an Arch 2010.05 install (and have run pacman -Syu to sync the entire system to latest).* I set up an eclipse project with the SDL source code in a /lib folder under the project root, though when I try using the SDL install on my system I get the same error.* When I try to build the project, SDL is built too, but make fails with this error:

../lib/SDL-1.2.14/src/video/xbios/SDL_xbios.c:34:25: fatal error: mint/cookie.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [lib/SDL-1.2.14/src/video/xbios/SDL_xbios.o] Error 1

Now I know that gcc just can't find the header file, and actually I don't have mint in my system.* When I use pacman -S mint there is no package to be found in the Arch repository.

Question is, does anyone know what mint is and how I can get an Arch variant of it?* Web search wasn't very useful, all I get is some hits about girl scout cookies

I removed the SDL source from /lib and decided to use the source and libs installed on my system.
