Re: [ft-devel] Problems compiling freetype into dll
Hello. Sorry, I had a busy week, otherwise I'd have replied earlier. Please open a standard Windows terminal (*not* msys), set up a proper path to the mingw tools (gcc, GNU make, etc.), and execute make This is the mingw part of my path variable: C:\mingw\mingw\bin;C:\mingw\mingw\MSYS\1.0\local\bin;C:\mingw\mingw\MSYS\1.0\bin; Fresh clean freetype is put into C:\ft2501\freetype-2.5.0.1 Opening cmd, going to that dir, running 'make' results in C:\ft2501\freetype-2.5.0.1make make: ver: Command not found make: type: Command not found make: *** [dos_setup] Error 127 That doesn't look good. Maybe you can use ProcMon Starting over from a clean freetype in msys/home/ft2501 I ran procmon, opened the msys prompt and did ./configure --without-png Libtool didn't complain about write permissions this time (Which is strange since I didn't change anything else...) Anyway, I did a 'make' after that and now I've got a libfreetype-6.dll in ft2501\freetype-2.5.0.1\objs\.libs I'll go and try out whether I can use that. I'll report back on how that works out.

Re: [ft-devel] Problems compiling freetype into dll
Hi. What do you mean with `mingw32-make'? The mingw32-make.exe of mingw, which is located in mingw/bin. Are you actually using the mingw build system? Yes. Then simply say `./configure' within an msys terminal, followed by `make'. D'oh! I've been running mingw32-make.exe directly from cmd. Still getting used to this build system. Please show us *exactly* what you do from a clean directory My msys/mingw is installed under C:\mingw\mingw\msys\1.0 I unpacked a clean freetype archive to C:\mingw\mingw\msys\1.0\home\ft2501\freetype-2.5.0.1 Ran msys.bat, changed to the directory Since I don't need png support, I ran ./configure --without.png Then, my platform gets identified as unix. please send us log data I added the log as an attachment.

[ft-devel] Problems compiling freetype into dll
Hello. I've tried to compile freetype 2.5.0.1 from source using mingw32-make (v2.8.3) on win7. My system was identyfied as windows w/gcc, so I went and manually replaced the contents of confic.mk with the contents of w32-mingw32.mk. 'Make'-ing the project works, but doesn't result in a dynamic lib (e.g. only the .a is build). Trying out target 'dll' results in mingw32-make: *** No rule to make target `exported_symbols', needed by `dll'. S top. Anyone know how what's going wrong here? (Obviously, a built rule missing or not found, but the error's not very verbose about where). How can I fix this and get a dll? Kind regards, Jörg ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
