Hi Vincent, *> If you want I can tell you how I compile freetype on Windows using> MSYS2 and mingw-w64 (or even on linux with cross compilation)* 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?
