What's sure is that many haven't got the same luck as you :-) It could be related to experience with the studio or development experience but I'm not sure At least it's easier to say "try this zip instead" than "We recognize your problem but we are not really sure about the solution, you may need to compile the dependencies yourself" As a side note Mike's llibraries worked fine for me to but then I needed to deliver. This was when he number of posts of "can't load fonts/arial.ttf"/"can't find osgdb_freetype"/"the freetype plugin isn't compiled" was at it's peak, so I just didn't dare to ship with Mike's libraries.
