FYI, progress report.
No additional changes to the build, but the instructions may require tweaking.
Did manage successful builds without closed subdirectories, using VS2012 and
DirectX 2010.
Required installation+build of Freetype using instructions from Volker's blog,
adapted slightly
for updated activex and new build directory expectations. Not sure what is the
best plan here;
the fix is all of
mkdir ../../../lib
cp * ../../../lib
Compared to the additional steps needed to get it built, this is not a big
deal, so I am not sure it
justifies whacking on the build scripts.
VS2012, the studio, does not come with 64-bit support, even though the
compilers are there,
so this is a glitch.
So, from the list to consider:
{ VS2010, VS2012, VS2012sp1} x {express, professional} x {32, 64} x {open,
closed}
the results thus far are:
VS2012 x express x {32, 64} x closed = builds, runs
VS2012 x express x 32 x open = builds, runs (release and slowdebug)
VS2012 x express x 64 x open = blocked by initial inability to build 64-bit
freetype
next step is to try VS2010 express to see if it still works.
