9 FreeType 2 Project Files for Visual C++ 2010 or newer
12 <p>This directory contains solution and project files for
13 Visual C++ 2010 or newer, named <tt>freetype.sln</tt>,
14 and <tt>freetype.vcxproj</tt>. It compiles the following libraries
15 from the FreeType 2.13.2 sources:</p>
18 <li>freetype.dll using 'Release' or 'Debug' configurations</li>
19 <li>freetype.lib using 'Release Static' or 'Debug Static' configurations</li>
22 <p>Both Win32 and x64 builds are supported. Build directories and target
23 files are placed in the top-level <tt>objs</tt> directory.</p>
25 <p>Customization of the FreeType library is done by editing the
26 <tt>ftoption.h</tt> header file in the top-level <tt>devel</tt> path.
27 Alternatively, you may copy the file to another directory and change the
28 include directory in <tt>freetype.users.props</tt>.</p>
30 <p>To configure library dependencies like <em>zlib</em> and <em>libpng</em>,
31 edit the <tt>freetype.users.props</tt> file in this directory. It also
32 simplifies automated (command-line) builds using <a
33 href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd393574%28v=vs.100%29.aspx">msbuild</a>.</p>
35 <p>To link your executable with FreeType DLL, you may want to define
36 DLL_IMPORT so that the imported functions are appropriately
37 attributed with <tt>dllimport<tt>.</p>
