RE: [ft-devel] FreeType2 2.3.5 Visual Studio Solution Warnings

[Graham Asher]

This worked for me a while ago when compiling FreeType into a Windows DLL:

#define FT_EXPORT(return_type) __declspec(dllexport) return_type
#define FT_EXPORT_DEF(return_type) __declspec(dllexport) return_type

You properly have to redefine FT_EXPORT and FT_EXPORT_DEF, I think, to
pass `__declspec(dllexport)' or something like this to the compiler.
However, I can't give any precise recipe since I don't use this
platform.

It would be great if the visual studio files could be updated to
handle this automatically.  However, I got the impression that this
already works...

Can someone shed light on this?
