Hi Kelly
freetypecheck has been a royal major pain in the you know what....
So you are not alone.
I thought I reviewed some changes you wrote that eliminated the
freetypecheck program and instead used something like grep to check for
the version information in the freetype header files. Was I dreaming? ;-)

Here’s what I’m getting. Somebody please tell me how to figure out
where the “:convert integer expression expected” messages are coming
from, or why I’m getting them, before I go insane. (Then you can tell
me why cl.exe can’t find “stdio.h” when it’s on the INCLUDE
environment variable path….)

The problem is when the freetype include files are living with the cygwin
stdio.h, which is not the one that cl.exe wants or likes.
I ran into this when I tried to use the freetype in cygwin, so I finally
gave up on using a cygwin freetype.

Oh and while you’re at THAT, somebody tell me how to build a DLL
version of FreeType.
See step 8 of my blog posting:

That's what worked for me, way back when. Let me know if the
instructions are stale.
