[Fwd: Win32 problem]

Hi guys,

I ran across freetype yesterday in my search for fonts & font tools for my embedded system project, and today built the library and test apps on a Win98 machine. I ran across two problems that I thought you might be interested in. I'm using Microsoft's Visual Studio 6.0.

• I originally had troubles using the makefile for nmake (see 2nd bullet) so I tried to use the workspace for the IDE (freetype.dsw). This created a library called freetype.lib, but I wonder if this shouldn't be libttf.lib (the same lib as the makefile creates). There was no corresponding workspace for the test apps, and test's makefile called the lib makefile, so

 
• I went back to nmake using the lib's Makefile.CL makefile, but for the all target, nmake didn't like the line:

+ $(OBJS_S: = + );
After I changed it to:
$(OBJS_S: = )
things worked fine.

So far I've only used the ftzoom app, but I am impressed. My end target is a StrongARM/pSOS system. I was originally considering bitmapped fonts, but if I can figure out how to integrate freetype then this looks like a definite winner. Thanks a lot guys.

Bob
