[mapserver-users] 3.5, freetype, and Makefile.vc

[Richard Greenwood]

Mapserver wizards -

I have found compiling 3.5 with freetype under windows to be a struggle. 
Daniel Morissette posted a message last week that stated "Starting with 
MapServer 3.5, you have to compile with a GD that was compiled with 
freetype." So I removed all references to gdft in my Makefile.vc and now it 
compiles quite smoothly. Thanks, Daniel!

So why does the Makefile.vc on cvs and in the nightly still reference gdft? 
The Makefile.in does not refer to gdft. If the gdft references could be 
eliminated from Makefile.vc (and maybe the gdft directory?) it could save 
some confusion for newbies, and easily confused individuals such as myself.

Best regards,
Rich
