[ft-devel] Adding new platform to installer

[Duncan Murdoch]

I'm trying to use Freetype in an R package (see www.r-project.org for 
information about R).  For Windows builds we have built a toolset that 
makes use of a subset of Cygwin, MinGW compilers, and a few modified 
tools, including modifications to GNU make so that it finds our sh.  
(See www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools.) The installer in Freetype 
doesn't work in this environment, and I'd like to add detection code and 
a .mk file so that it does.

Currently if I just run "make", it fails saying that "ver" and "type" 
are not found, presumably because it detects Windows and assumes I'm 
running in a CMD shell.  Even if I do, I get the same error, because our 
make doesn't know about CMD internals.

Could someone give me hints about what to modify so that Freetype can 
detect our environment and build properly?
Thanks.
