1 2To build the freetype library, follow these steps: 3 41) Download the FreeType source code from the following link: 5 6https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/ 7 82) Build FreeType using Microsoft Visual C++: 9Navigate to the "build/windows/vc2010" directory, which contains a Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) workspace for constructing the FreeType library. 10 113) Within the FreeType library, a customized version of the zlib library is present. To prevent compatibility issues with the separately included zlib library in GUIX Studio, it's better to rename all types and functions associated with the zlib library. The file "ftzconf.h" in the FreeType library facilitates this process by enabling the redefinition of types and library functions using a unique prefix, achieved through the Z_PREFIX configuration. 12 13Despite implementing these changes, certain link errors may persist. To mitigate this, additional defines are necessary: 14 15#define crc32_combine_gen z_crc32_combine_gen 16#define crc32_combine_gen64 z_crc32_combine_gen64 17#define crc32_combine_op z_crc32_combine_op 18#define zcalloc z_zcalloc 19#define zcfree z_zcfree 20#define z_errmsg z_z_errmsg 21 224) Following these steps, you should have successfully built the FreeType library.
