If I delete the cache and build with WXART2D_USE_FREETYPE set to 1, as
follows
cmake -DwxWidgets_USE_DEBUG:BOOL=0 -DwxWidgets_USE_MONOLITHIC:BOOL=1
-DwxWidgets_USE_UNICODE:BOOL=0 -DwxWidgets_USE_STATIC:BOOL=1
-DWXART2D_USE_FREETYPE=1 -G"CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles"
c:\user_data\david\dajac\source_pool\wxArt2D\packages\wxart2d
I get the exact same error. Which, as you said, shouldn't be a surprise
since WXART2D_USE_FREETYPE=1 is the default.
I noticed that the mingw library is called freetype.a and is located in
the objs directory, so I changed the search in FindFreetype.cmake to
FIND_LIBRARY(FREETYPE_LIBRARY_COMP
NAMES freetype242.lib freetype242_D.lib freetype242MT.lib
freetype242MT_D.lib freetype.a
PATHS
$ENV{FREETYPE_DIR}
${FREETYPE_DIR}
${FREETYPE_DIR}/objs/win32/vc2008
${FREETYPE_DIR}/objs
NO_DEFAULT_PATH
)
After this change, the command line shown above completes without
errors. Here is the Freetype portion of the output.
-- searching Freetype via:
c:/user_data/david/dajac/source_pool/wxArt2D/packages
/wxart2d/share/wxwidgets
-- Found Freetype:
c:/user_data/david/dajac/source_pool/wxArt2D/thirdparty/freetype-2.4.2/objs/freetype.a
-- FREETYPE_DIR =>

-- FREETYPE_LIBRARIES =>
c:/user_data/david/dajac/source_pool/wxArt2D/thirdparty/freetype-2.4.2/objs/freetype.a
-- FREETYPE_LIBRARY_DIRS =>
c:/user_data/david/dajac/source_pool/wxArt2D/packages/wxart2d/../../thirdparty/freetype-2.4.2/objs/win32/vc2008
One thing that concerns me is that FREETYPE_LIBRARY_DIRS doesn't include
${FREETYPE_DIR}/objs. In the end it doesn't seem to matter, since
mingw32-make completes without error, for future stability, that might
need to be corrected.
