Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Configure Qt without dependency on libfreetype?

[Colin Bourassa]

I've since found that configuring Qt with '-qt-freetype' avoids the
runtime dependency on libfreetype, and therefore also removes the need
for harfbuzz, libpng, and (I think) pcre. The resultant application
looked fine running on my Windows 7 VM.
