Apparently noone has tried yet to build FreeType with this compiler.
Two pontential problems pop into my mind:

  . The command line is too long for apinames.exe.

  . apinames.exe doesn't like forward slashes in font paths.

Can you check that?  It might also be a problem with the mingw port of
`make'.  In that case you might try the version from Cygwin.

I don't understand this sentence.  What have you done?  Please
rephrase.
