Hi all,
I'm looking to build a shared version of QT based on the MXE setup. I've actually made quite a bit of progress, and I've been able to convert all of the required packages for qtbase into shared builds that compile and install correctly. If I get it working, I'll put the changes up on github.
However, when I try to compile a shared build of qtbase, I get errors resolving symbols in libfreetype (see the attached build log). From what I can tell, qt is simply forgetting to add the flag -lfreetype when compiling qwindows.dll , as qbasicfontdatabase.cpp (which compiles into qwindows.ll) uses functions defined in libfreetype. Unfortunately, the ./configure script seems to be oblivious of any
options involving freetype, and greets -no-freeetype -system-freetype,
and -qt-freetype with the same "invalid command-line switch".
When I asked in the QT IRC channel, I was questioned why I was building QT on windows with freetype, which I'm not sure about. Why does MXE build QT with freetype?
