[SDL] S Location of freetype when compiling SDL_ttf on Mac

[Michael Ryan Bannon]

Hi,

I got the freetype part working, but now it's complaining about not finding 
SDL 1.2.4.
At first I just copied the SDL framework (1.2.11) to /Library/Frameworks, 
then ran ./configure on SDL_ttf.  I got the following error:

checking for SDL - version >= 1.2.4... no
*** The sdl-config script installed by SDL could not be found
*** If SDL was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the SDL_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to sdl-config.
configure: error: *** SDL version 1.2.4 not found!

I didn't have the sdl_config file, so I assumed that I needed to a proper 
SDL install.  I got the SDL source and ran the following:

./configure
make

After make, I started getting errors regarding X11, which I didn't have 
installed either.  I installed X11 for Mac OS X and reran

./configure
make

Same error.  Where am I going wrong in this process?  I thought I was 
following the instructions for SDL_ttf pretty well, but did I miss something 
along the way?

Thanks,

Ryan
