  FreeType&nbsp;2 Project Files for Visual&nbsp;C++&nbsp;2010 or newer
</h1>

<p>This directory contains solution and project files for
Visual&nbsp;C++&nbsp;2010 or newer, named <tt>freetype.sln</tt>,
and <tt>freetype.vcxproj</tt>.  It compiles the following libraries
from the FreeType 2.13.1 sources:</p>

<ul>
  <li>freetype.dll using 'Release' or 'Debug' configurations</li>
  <li>freetype.lib using 'Release Static' or 'Debug Static' configurations</li>
</ul>

<p>Both Win32 and x64 builds are supported.  Build directories and target
files are placed in the top-level <tt>objs</tt> directory.</p>

<p>Customization of the FreeType library is done by editing the
<tt>ftoption.h</tt> header file in the top-level <tt>devel</tt> path.
Alternatively, you may copy the file to another directory and change the
include directory in <tt>freetype.users.props</tt>.</p>

<p>To configure library dependencies like <em>zlib</em> and <em>libpng</em>,
edit the <tt>freetype.users.props</tt> file in this directory.  It also
simplifies automated (command-line) builds using <a
href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd393574%28v=vs.100%29.aspx">msbuild</a>.</p>

<p>To link your executable with FreeType DLL, you may want to define
DLL_IMPORT so that the imported functions are appropriately
attributed with <tt>dllimport<tt>.</p>
