[ft-devel] Cygwin build prob -- tilting at windmills

[david.tyree]

I'm working on a project/experiment that will run on 

linux/windows/macosX. 

I decided to use SDL/SGE, but cannot get freetype to cooperate on 

windows. SDL and SGE are fat, dumb and happy adding the -no-cygwin GCC 

option (using the mingw libs). the freetype build does not seem to add 

the same flag, and an option to build a DLL from cygwin is not obvious.

   
Here are the versions I'm dealing with:
        Compiling with CYGWIN_NT-5.1
        SDL_image-1.2.4
        sge030809
        SDL-1.2.8
        freetype=2.1.9

I built freetype with the suggested option:
  ./configure  <youroptions> ---There's no notes on what "youroptions" 

actually are --
  make
  make install


This is what's spit out
        FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

        The following settings are used:

          platform                    unix
          compiler                    gcc
          configuration directory     ./builds/unix
          configuration rules         ./builds/unix/unix.mk

        If this does not correspond to your system or settings please 

remove  the file
        `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for 

help.

        Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library,
        or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs 

python).

        make: Nothing to be done for `unix'.


Huh . How would I set the -mno-cygwin option?

Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
