Hehe, well I appreciate the 'make sure your computer is plugged in' suggestion, because lets face it, it often works. But no. Here is a copy paste from the path i included: C:\Program Files\FreeType\lib and here's a copy paste from the location of the library file:C:\Program Files\FreeType\libPLUS! I'm not sure about the amount of linkage needed for this program but, the following succesfully compiles and links for me. Note how it contains data types from the freetype library. If this works, it should be finding SOME stuff in the library file, right? int main( int argc, char** argv ) { FT_Library library; FT_Face face; FT_GlyphSlot slot; FT_Matrix matrix; /* transformation matrix */ FT_Vector pen; /* untransformed origin */ FT_Error error; return 0; } DingLi(丁力) wrote:Maybe your path for the lib is not right~~~ Please check it. -----Original Message----- From: address@hidden [mailto:address@hidden On Behalf Of mikau16 Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2008 6:46 AM To: address@hidden Subject: [ft-devel] impossble trouble installing free type on Vis C++ I seem entirely incapable of successfully installing freetype 2 on my system. I'm currently trying to install it on my Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition compiler. There was a very clear and straight forward walk-through here: http://libagar.org/docs/compile-msvc.html.en for how to do it using two different methods. I've tried both, and I've also tried installing it onother compilers.After installing, i try to compile and link this program, which I obtained here: http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html here is the complete program:
[snip]having had a short look it seems like all linkage to functions does not work - data types behave different as they might be completely defined in the headers.
Linking always fails. Here's the message I get in return: ------ Build started: Project: freetypebin, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------ Linking...

If you just want to install and use freetype, we have built a freetype package to suit our compilers which included Visual Studio EE (2k5 which is compatible to 2k8). http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/repository/win32libs/freetype-msvc-2.3.5-2-bin.tar.bz2I've been wanting to install freetype for use with Font drawing in OpenGL, which i'm presently learning, but I've spent weeks trying to get it to work,without success.
and http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/repository/win32libs/freetype-msvc-2.3.5-2-lib.tar.bz2 (I might update them sooner or later to a more recent version).
and yes, I've included the path to the library file in my project settings and all that.
The only other thing I could think of is that you're missing the import library for freetype.dll (freetype.lib)
somehow. regards, Patrick
