RE: [ft-devel] FreeType2 2.3.5 Visual Studio Solution Warnings

[Sargrad, Dave]

Thanks for the responses. 

In the distribution that I downloaded. I see the following two lines
commented out (along with a description along the lines of what you are
suggesting):

/* #define  FT_EXPORT(x)       extern x */
/* #define  FT_EXPORT_DEF(x)   x */

Later in the same file (ftoption.h) I see FT_EXPORT defined as follows:

#define FT_EXPORT(x)    FREETYPE2_DLL_IMPEXP x
#define FT_BASE(x)      FREETYPE2_DLL_IMPEXP x

I never see FT_EXPORT_DEF defined. 

Is FT_BASE something that I need to change?  

I'll try to change "FT_EXPORT(x)" from "FREETYPE2_DLL_IMPEXP x" to
"__declspec(dllexport) x" and as well I'll try to add a definition for
"FT_EXPORT_DEF(x)" to be "__declspec(dllexport) x"

This worked for me a while ago when compiling FreeType into a Windows
DLL:

#define FT_EXPORT(return_type) __declspec(dllexport) return_type #define
FT_EXPORT_DEF(return_type) __declspec(dllexport) return_type

You properly have to redefine FT_EXPORT and FT_EXPORT_DEF, I think, to
pass `__declspec(dllexport)' or something like this to the compiler.
However, I can't give any precise recipe since I don't use this
platform.

It would be great if the visual studio files could be updated to handle
this automatically.  However, I got the impression that this already
works...

Can someone shed light on this?
