Hi All, As you might have noticed, FreeType 2.9 has added some support for building DLL using Visual C 2010 and above but unfortunately somewhat broke static libraries on that platform (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?52843). Basically, we need to hide those dllimport/dllexport attributes from anything but DLL context. So I suggested FT2_LINK_DLL compile-time macro because I like it to scream DLL and I did not like other ideas from http://geoffair.net/ms/declspec.htm.
Here the proposal: #ifdef _MSC_VER #if defined( FT2_BUILD_LIBARY ) && defined( _DLL ) #define FT_EXPORT( x ) __declspec( dllexport ) x #elif defined( FT2_LINK_DLL ) #define FT_EXPORT( x ) __declspec( dllimport ) x #endif #endif >From my reading, FT2_LINK_DLL is actually optional but would optimize the library calls. Comments? Suggestions? Alexei
