Hello

My goal is to build the OpenCascade webGL sample on Windows. Its 
description suggests installing and using emscripten to build the 
webAssembly. I've installed the latest version following the instructions, 
and I could build and run the provided mini examples just fine. 

I am having trouble using emcmake to build FreeType and OpenCascade 
statically on Windows. The main issue is that emcmake insists on finding a 
file called
freetypeConfig.cmake or
freetype-config.cmake 
But these files don't exist. And if I can resolve this, I may run into the 
same issue with OpenCascade which likewise doesn't provide any 
*config.cmake files.

cmake itself doesn't have this problem when I set freetype_DIR (as 
suggested on the OpenCascade Forums), but apparently emcmake ignores this.

I have already posted this at Opencascade forums, but there are already 
various threads on this topic, and none of the suggestions seem to have any 
effect when using emcmake. 

I should mention that Opencascade refers to an old version of FreeType 
(2.5.5), but neither this nor the most current version (2.11.1) can be 
built using emcmake!

I have installed the latest version of emscripten, running Windows 10. I 
would provide more info but I have tried so many different things and 
changed so many parameters that I've lost track, and indeed may need to set 
up everything from scratch again to make sure I haven't introduced side 
effects. (Besides, I will eventually need to install from scratch again on 
the other devs' machines)

Therefore my first question to ask is: what version of emscripten should I 
use for Windows (and how can I query the currently installed  version?), 
and is there anything I specifically need to do beyond the descriptions 
provided on the website with regard to Windows?

Second question: I've already spotted various threads dealing with building 
freetype. But as far as I can tell, most if not all were related to 
building on Linux. Is there anything specific I need to watch out for when 
building FreeType on Windows? 

Lastly: can I force emcmake not to search for the *config.cmake files? 
Alternately, is there any recommended way how to create them on Windows? In 
short: How can I build FreeType with emcmake on Windows when there's no 
*config.cmake file? 

Thanks for reading this far,
Stefan
