RE: [Devel] shared library under Windows

[Thierry Frey]

Hi,

I've tried to compile freetype-2.0.1 using flat mode under Windows. I get
the following errors:

Compiling...
cidafm.c
e:\tosca\cadenza\tfrey_repeng_dev\freetype\flat_src\cidafm.c(180) : error

Error executing cl.exe.

freetype.dll - 4 error(s), 0 warning(s)


My correction for the first error was to change

  FT_LOCAL_DEF
  FT_Error  CID_Read_AFM( FT_Face    cid_face,
                          FT_Stream  stream )

for

  FT_LOCAL_DEF
  FT_Error  CID_Read_AFM( FT_Face    t1_face,
                          FT_Stream  stream )


Is this correct?


The last 3 errors are easily corrected by a FT_FLAT_COMPILE preprocessor
directive.


Furthermore, in ftgrays.h, it is written

  /* On some systems and compilers (Win32 mostly), an extra keyword is
*/
  /* necessary to compile the library as a DLL.
*/
  /*
*/
#ifndef FT_EXPORT_VAR
#define FT_EXPORT_VAR( x )  extern  x
#endif

What keyword are we talking about? Where do you insert it?

Thanks in advance,
Thierry
