Hello Werner and Freetype Development Team, As you said, I have tried installing the freetype using all the three methods. Here is the result (✅ means worked) ==> For Ubuntu Linux ✅ Classical Method (./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install) ✅ Cmake ✅ Meson (requred version for meson is >=55, Meson version is not updated in ubuntu repositories, but got from official meson github repo)
===> For MacOS ✅ Classical Method ✅ Cmake ✅ Meson ===> For windows Coming to windows I was having trouble building on it. I need some guidance to build freetype library on windows. Can anybody help me? Thanks and regards. Thanks Werner, for responding soon.
