Re: [ft] Link Error: could not open FreeType.lib

[bnTheMan]

Werner,
Thanks for the help. However, please excuse my dumbness, but I never made a
lib file before. So far, I found the Visual C++ project file, and I compiled
it. However, the compiler only made the obj files. So what is next to get
the obj's into .lib? If you are not sure since you never used Visual C++,
and although the MSDN forums, which supports Visual C++, usually do not
support 3rd party libraries, is this something I could ask there since it is
a compiler question?
