Re: [ft-devel] Problems compiling Freetype

[Novice Programmer]

and another thing is that if i use the dynamic libfreetype.dll.a then it builds pretty well.

Thanks.

Hello Werner,

I got thro this one... how i got thro this is a bit interesting... i installed linux on my system and it worked on linux, then i copied the dito environment variables from linux to ming on windows and it worked.. :). But now i have another issue. I have placed libfreetype.a in the /usr/lib. when i compile a test program, i get the following errors.

Isn't freetype getting linked?

Thanks.

Thanks.  Three things:

 . You haven't sent the `config.log' file (which the configure script
   directly generates).

 . The stdout/stderr log is incomplete; it only shows the linking but
   not the generation of the object files.

 . I've no idea about mingw32, but creation of `libfreetype.dll.a'
   looks strange.  This should be `libfreetype.dll', right?

BTW, please send such big files always compressed since it makes the
mails *much* smaller.
