Thanks.
I am making some progress.
I have loaded the Freetype-Base and Freetype-plugin packages into my 3.7
full image.
Using VMMaker I am building a VM and external FT2Plugin.
(the VM build works ok without theFT2Plugin so I think it is configured
correctly).

The code gets generated ok, I have a bunch of FTPlugin files (.c .exp .def
lib .o ) in the FT2Plugin directory.
I have downloaded and compiled Freetype 2.1.10 .
I have put the freetype2 files into cross\plugins\FT2Plugin so i have this
structure...
    cross
        \plugins
            \FT2Plugin
                freetype.lib
                freetype.lib.o
                ft2build.h
                \freetype
                    a whole bunch of .h files (freetype.h ... ttunpat.h)
                    some folders (\cache \config \internal)

These files get copied over into the win32\plugins\FT2Plugin

When I run build.bat I get this error message....

I think I may have the wrong freetype files in the wrong place.
Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Cheers,
Andy

Only tested on 3.8

compiling the plugin: Freetype-Base + Freetype-Plugin

using / testing: Freetype-Base + Freetype-Fonts

installing sample fonts: Freetype-Vera (depends on Freetype-Fonts)

There are two config maps at the bottom of http://source.impara.de/
freetype/ but they do not point to the latest versions.

Uggh, that stuff should not be in that package ... seems to have been
slipped in by some Sophie developer (CTransformCanvas is used by Tweak).

You should be able to ignore the warning and load the package
anyways, no?

Hmm, not sure about the Windows plugin ... someone compiled it for
Sophie, so it works, somehow ;-)

If you do it as external plugin it shouldn't matter if it is 3.7 or
3.8, so use whatever works for you.
