Re: [ft] how to compile freetype dll on windows

[samaram s]

Yeah i got a dll..i ignored those warnings...
But when i tried to use that dll in my sample code, I am getting the following linker error.

Error    1    fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'freetype2311MT_D.lib'     

I placed the above lib under the following path,
project->properties->Configurationproperties->Linker->Input->Additionaldependencies.

Am i right?Or should i place else where?
