Hello, I've successfully compiled freetype on Windows 10 within a Cygnus environment, creating an archive lib and then building the demos from that. When I execute ftview.exe, frinit.c/grInitDevices()/chain is null, causing grNewSurface() to return null, and generating the "could not allocate display surface" error message.
I thought using Cygwin might a problem, so I compiled a DLL in Visual Studio and created a new solution specifically for ftview.c. Once I got that compiled outside of Cygwin, I get the same failure mode. If possible, could someone provide me with a best known method to build freetype and the demos correctly on Windows? Many Thanks in Advance, -Thomas ________________________________ Please be advised that this email may contain confidential information.
