Hi guys, I will be doing some FreeType development on Windows 10 in this release cycle. It was surprisingly easy to set up the environment. I only needed two things: 1) Git for Windows, https://git-for-windows.github.io/, which comes with a bash shell and vi. 2) Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017, https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017, which is a free minimal environment with msbuild and a compiler, without IDE.
I have managed to build the static library already in this environment and committed the first round of cleanups in the project file. The draft plans are: - drop vc2005 and earlier support altogether as those compilers have reached their EOL. - drop wince as well since vc2012 and up supports wince - drop vc2008 next year - drop single-threaded configurations deprecated as of 2005 - add dynamic library configuration - get freetype-demos to build Comments, wishes?
