If you follow these exact steps, you should be able to build the SDL or
GTK2 clients, and probably also the win32 client.

You could also take a look at Andreas' win32 web page, you find the link

--includedir tells you where to put the headers you create, not to pick up
headers you need.

If all else fails, just copy the headers into the client directory...

I am compiling SDL and GTK2 clients, both 1.14.0 and CVS. Andreas Kemnade
<akemnade@xxxxxxxxxxx> is the win32 native maintainer. Perhaps he can
tell.
