[ft] FreeType "out-of-the-box-experience"

[Daniel Dekkers]

Hi,

 

I’m trying to use CMakes find_package(FreeType)  to find the include/library directories to include them in my Windows/Mac OS X project.

 

My CMakeLists.txt looks like this …

 

…

set(ENV{FREETYPE_DIR} ${ROOT_DIR}/freetype-2.4.6 CACHE PATH "Root directory for FreeType")

find_package(FreeType REQUIRED)

…

In Mac OS X, things seem to work fine (after a configure, make and make install of the lib).

find_package() finds the libs and sets the CMake variables so I can use them later on.

 

These variables are set:

 

FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_freetype2

FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR_ft2build

FREETYPE_LIBRARY

 

But in Windows, no luck yet.

 

I can build the libs using the distributed solution files in Visual Studio. But then what? Do I have to copy them to a specific location?

 

Kind Regards,

Daniel Dekkers
