[ft] Errors when compiling FreeType2.3.2 using MinGW/MSYS

[Tim Flink]

I am trying to compile the dynamic libraries for FreeType 2.3.2 on MS
Windows XP using Mingw32/MSYS but I have yet to be successful and was
hoping that someone might have a suggestion on what I can do to get it
to compile.

Configure was run with only the --prefix= option.

When I run Make, I get one error during linking

I have done some searching through the mailing list archives and on
google but I haven't found any information on how I can solve this. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim
