Re: [ft] how to compile the shared lib with mingw ?

[Vincent Torri]

hello,

when I use the patch for cygwin, I get these errors when the shared lib is
created :


Cannot export FT_GetFile_From_Mac_ATS_Name: symbol not defined
Cannot export FT_GetFile_From_Mac_Name: symbol not defined
Cannot export FT_New_Face_From_FOND: symbol not defined
Cannot export FT_New_Face_From_FSRef: symbol not defined
Cannot export FT_New_Face_From_FSSpec: symbol not defined
Cannot export TT_New_Context: symbol not defined
Cannot export TT_RunIns: symbol not defined

they are listed in ftexport.sym, but maybe they are not exported
