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

Why are you using such an old version? The current one is 2.9.1 and
comes with improved CMake support.

hello,I have tried to use freetype in visual studio 2017. I downloaded 2.5.3
than I compiled the solution directory file to obtain the .lib files. Than I
went into my project and in the additional include directory I typed the
address of the include folder I downloaded, under c/c++ under
Hello, I have installed freetype2.5.5, but fontconfig's latest git repository
will not find it. I get the following error:
./configure: line 14023: syntax error near unexpected toke 'FREETYPE,'
./configure: line 14023: 'PKG_CHECK_MODULES (FREETYPE, freetype2)'
Could you advise me in what to do?
The error looks like as if configure script is incorrect;
PKG_CHECK_MODULES() is a macro for pkg-config, it should be
expanded to appropriate sh-script. I'm afraid that autogen
(or something else to generate configure script from its
skelton) did not finish correctly. FreeType is not responsible
