Okay, so I'm on Windows Vista, and I want to use SDL_TTF, but the idiots who made it decided you have to build everything from source, so I to build the .lib files and all that other stuff, but I'm on Windows, so how am I suppose to do this?

A: 

I've had good luck using MinGW and MSYS to build autotools-based projects like SDL and its associated libraries.

SDL_TTF also provides a Visual Studio project in VisualC.zip.

A: 

I'm not sure where you looked, but the SDL_TTF page have precompiled win32 binaries, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/ , or more specifically, http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_ttf/release/SDL_ttf-devel-2.0.10-VC.zip
