[PNGwriter-users] PNGwriter on Windows

[Antonio E. Camacho-Lobeto]

Hello,

I have been using pngwriter on mandrake linux for a while. Now I am trying to use it on Windows 2000, I have downloaded the sources and compiled them with Dev-Cpp with freetype2 text support in the way Siva Chandra said.
Now I have my libpngwriter.a ready to use. But every time I try to compile I get errors.

I have Dev-Cpp installed in c:\Dev-Cpp, freetype installed in c:\freetype and PNGwriter in C:\pngwriter-0.5.3. I've put pngwriter.h in c:\Dev-Cpp\include, libpngwriter.a and pngwriter.o in c:\Dev-Cpp\lib...

When I try to compile I get this error:
