Thanks for your help.

I have already tested the changes using MSYS2 on Windows.

But I do have a question.

When I use Autotools to build FreeType on Linux, the build process produces

both static library(libfreetype.a) and shared library(libfreetype.so).

But when I am building FreeType using MSYS2 and mingw32-make on Windows

I am getting only a static library(freetype.a). Is this a default behavior or I am doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Priyesh

If you want I can tell you how I compile freetype on Windows using
MSYS2 and mingw-w64 (or even on linux with cross compilation)
