[SDL] building SDL_ttf

[Bob Self]

I compiled SDL-1.2.11 (from SDL-1.2.11.tar.gz) using the current msys/mingw
system. That seemed to go OK. I'm now trying to compile SDL_ttf-2.0.8. I ran
'./configure' and the 'make'. But make gives the following errors.

SDL_ttf.c:51:38: freetype/internal/ftobjs.h: No such file or directory.
SDL_ttf.c:281: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type.

I read about commenting out lines 51 and 281 to get it to compile. 
It compiles now but I am wondering if it is ok to comment out line 281. 
Will it cause any memory leaks or uninitialize pointer, eg?

Thanks,
Bob
