Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your help.
I have already tested the changes using MSYS2 on Windows.
But I do have a question.
When I use Autotools to build FreeType on Linux, the build process produces
both static library(*libfreetype.a) *and shared library(*libfreetype.so).*
But when I am building FreeType using MSYS2 and mingw32-make on Windows
I am getting only a static library(freetype.a). Is this a default behavior
or I am doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Priyesh
