Re: [ft-devel] can't build freetype-2.3.8 on MinGW/MSYS environment

[Masahiko, SAWAI]

OK, GNU make in the current release version of MSYS is too old.
I found GNU make 3.81 in MSYS technology preview version.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=24963

I'll try it.

Thanks!
