Re: [ft] Compiling freetype 2.3.9 with bcc fails

[Mirco Babin]

Hello mpsuzuki,

 

I started from scratch, unzipping freetype-2.3.9.tar.gz.

I applied your patches to bcc.mk, bcc-dev.mk, win32-def.mk and exports.mk

 

Then I ran mingw32-make.

The apinames.exe is now build ok.

But building the library fails with the continuating error "Warning: invalid page size value ignored". This warning is repeating endlessly and I have to abort the make.

 

I have included the output of the mingw32-make.exe.

 

Regards,

Mirco

Dear Mirco,

Could you try attached patch? Please revert my previous
patch (adding CCexe_CFLAGS etc) before applying this.
The patch changes APINAMES_EXE target more flexible and
"-e" is used to generate objs\apinames.exe.
I could build freetype.lib from GIT HEAD source + patch.
