Freetype is a library, there is no main() function.

Look at ft2demos-L.M.N.tar.bz2 (resp. ftdmoLMN.zip) for examples of 
small programs which use the library, and which indeed have main() 
functions.


By the way, Werner, the baroque name for the .zip file is constrained by 
the '8.3' rule required for ISO9660 (version 1) and MS-DOS (w/o VFAT) 
file systems; and with N now in excess of 10, the rule is breached. Of 
course in 2009 everybody which got such a file and have to shoehorse its 
name (for example to send it to some embedded systems kit) can easily 
rename it, yet I believe it would be more correct to stick to the rule 
even for the accessory archives, perhaps naming the last release as
        ft23b.zip
        ftdmo23b.zip
        ftdoc23b.zip
(with b being the 11th letter in the 0123456789abcdefghij alphabecedary) 
 or alternatively
        ft2311.zip
        ftdm2311.zip
        ftdo2311.zip
