This directory contains project files for Visual C++, named freetype.vcproj, and Visual Studio, called freetype.sln. It compiles the following libraries from the FreeType 2.8.1 sources:
freetype281.lib - release build; single threaded
freetype281_D.lib - debug build; single threaded
freetype281MT.lib - release build; multi-threaded
freetype281MT_D.lib - debug build; multi-threaded
Be sure to extract the files with the Windows (CR+LF) line endings. ZIP archives are already stored this way, so no further action is required. If you use some .tar.*z archives, be sure to configure your extracting tool to convert the line endings. For example, with WinZip, you should activate the TAR file smart CR/LF Conversion option. Alternatively, you may consider using the unix2dos or u2d utilities that are floating around, which specifically deal with this particular problem.
Build directories are placed in the top-level objs directory.
