There's no need to run both autogen.sh and configure from a SVN
checkout.  Just run autogen.sh, and pass it any options you'd usually
pass to configure.  autogen.sh runs configure when it's finished.

The reason you're getting different results is probably because your
first 'make' uses the default prefix, and your second 'make' uses the
prefix you passed to configure.  I'm not sure why that would change the
errors you get, unless the include path is getting messed with based on
the different prefix.  That doesn't make all that much sense to me, but
things on Windows rarely make all that much sense, in my experience.
