9 FreeType 2 Project Files for VS.NET 2010 or newer
12 <p>This directory contains a project file for Visual C++ (VS.NET 2010
13 or newer), named <tt>freetype.vcxproj</tt>, and Visual Studio, called
14 <tt>freetype.sln</tt>. It compiles the following libraries from the
15 FreeType 2.5.5 sources:</p>
19 freetype255.lib - release build
20 freetype255d.lib - debug build
21 freetype255ST.lib - release build; single threaded
22 freetype255STd.lib - debug build; single threaded
23 freetype255MT.lib - release build; multi-threaded
24 freetype255MTd.lib - debug build; multi-threaded</pre>
27 <p>Both Win32 and x64 builds are supported.</p>
29 <p>Be sure to extract the files with the Windows (CR+LF) line endings. ZIP
30 archives are already stored this way, so no further action is required. If
31 you use some <tt>.tar.*z</tt> archives, be sure to configure your extracting
32 tool to convert the line endings. For example, with <a
33 href="http://www.winzip.com">WinZip</a>, you should activate the <em>TAR
34 file smart CR/LF Conversion</em> option. Alternatively, you may consider
35 using the <tt>unix2dos</tt> or <tt>u2d</tt> utilities that are floating
36 around, which specifically deal with this particular problem.
38 <p>Build directories are placed in the top-level <tt>objs\vc2010</tt>
41 <p>Customization of the FreeType library is done by editing the
42 <tt>ftoptions.h</tt> header file in the top-level <tt>devel</tt> path.
43 Alternatively, you may copy the file to another directory and change the
44 include directory in <tt>freetype.users.props</tt>.</p>
46 <p>To configure library dependencies like <em>zlib</em> and <em>libpng</em>,
47 edit the <tt>freetype.users.props</tt> file in this directory. It also
48 simplifies automated (command-line) builds using <a
49 href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd393574%28v=vs.100%29.aspx">msbuild</a>.</p>
