Re: [ft-devel] Freetype on Mac uses deprecated functions

[Wenlin Institute]

Just in case this is useful information, I'm using FreeType version  
2.1.4 both on OS 9 (non-Carbon), compiled with CodeWarrior (IDE  
4.1.0.3), and on OS X (Carbon, Mach-0), compiled with XCode 2.1. I  
haven't had time yet to update to a newer version of FreeType. For  
CodeWarrior, I just included the necessary Freetype source files  
directly in the project, rather than make a separate library. For OS  
X, I made "libfreetype.a" with "make" at the command line.
