Re: [ft-devel] Problems compiling freetype into dll

[Dave Arnold]

Hi Werner,

You have provided another hint. I was using "make" which is in \mingw\msys\1.0\bin. But 
you mentioned "mingw32-make". This program is in \mingw\bin. I did not realize that mingw 
came with two versions of make! mingw32-make works much better.

A few "Error 127" messages still occurred until I removed \mingw\msys\1.0\bin 
from the path, as you suggested.

But I am not happy to lose "less" "grep" and all the other unix commands that 
live in \mingw\msys\1.0\bin. Some more work will be needed.

Thanks.

-Dave
