Folks,
it took me a whole week of intensive documentation reading and compilation experiments, asking on various mailing list, etc., etc., to eventually find out that I need two binaries on Windows, one for the console and one for the GUI. For consistency I've decided to create two binaries for all platform. Sigh. It's simply not possible to make a Windows program behave the same way as a POSIX one. I haven't believed it, now I know :-| Well, I'm an absolute beginner w.r.t. to Windows programming... After building from the current git there is now a `ttfautohint' and `ttfautohintGUI' binary. It compiles nicely on Windows also; I've successfully used MinGW (but please check the `INSTALL.git' file for more details). The only drawback of creating a static GUI binary on Windows is its size: Due to the Qt libraries it's about 8MByte (compared to 150kByte on GNU/Linux using Qt DLLs). I invite the adventurous user to compile and test! If everything works fine, I'll release a new version in a few days.
