in the GnuWin32 package of Freetype, FT_EXPORT and FT_BASE are
defined with the following patch: [...]
I remember that you used some parts of the patch of that GnuWin32
package, but not that one. Werner, can you explain me why ?
It's too specific IMHO: We don't have those macros defined:
BUILD_FREETYPE2_DLL
FREETYPE2_STATIC
USE_FREETYPE2_DLL
USE_FREETYPE2_STATIC
It seems to me that this is an attempt to provide some of the
`configure' stuff in a different way. I basically don't object to it,
but right now those macros are black box values, so I consider it best
if they are part of the package which defines them.
