[Devel] Using Freetype

[Satchitanand Kashyap]

Hi There:

 

I downloaded the freetype source file, and compiled the libraries as instructed. The program used make gcc-dev to compile all the files and create the libraries and object (*.o) files in the /objs directory.

 

I am not able to link and create the executables from these object files (*.o) . When I link them using alink.exe I get the following message for creating smooth.exe from smooth.o:

I am primarily interested in using the smoothing and anti-aliasing features of smooth.c and to convert Type1 fonts to TrueType Font on Windows 2000, I set up GNU Dev-C++ and GNu Make to compile Freetype.

 

How can I now use smooth.o to smooth TT fonts and use TrueType.o and Type1.o to convert Type 1 fonts to and from TTF .

 

Thank you very much for kind advice in this matter.
