Don't know if it helps a bit, but I use code::blocks and have imported the vc2008 project file into it to build the library.
Using the generated libfreetype.a within another code::blocks project works fine for me. The (mingw32-)make procedure, however, didn't work for me. I use the MinGW compilers as installed by the MinGW Installer (compiler version is 6.3.0-1) On 7/19/2018 9:58 AM, Werner LEMBERG wrote: >> hello,I have tried to use freetype in visual studio 2017.
