making SDL_ttf


I have installed cygwin on a windows box and build and installed sdl with no probs, yet i can not make sdl_ttf.
The first two errors I get are:
Quote:
SDL_ttf.c:31:20: alloca.h: No such file or directory
SDL_ttf.c:42:22: ft2build.h: No such file or directory
Now both of these headers are in /usr/include so it's not like I dont have them. I edited the cygwin/etc/profile and added the "/usr/include" path but this makes no difference to the errors.
Quote:
PATH=/usr/include:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
export PATH
Anybody got any ideas of how to fix this?

thanks.

ok there some of the output from configure and make, you can see it does look in usr/include and checks theres a valid alloca

Code:
$ configure
...
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for working alloca.h... yes
checking for alloca... yes
checking for freetype-config... /usr/bin/freetype-config
checking for sdl-config... /usr/local/bin/sdl-config
checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.4... yes
checking for OpenGL support... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating SDL_ttf.spec
config.status: executing depfiles commands
Code:
$ make

Bump.
I could adjust the source to find the files needed, but this would still leave the problem which is causing this. Can anybody suggest anything?
Thanks.
