10</h1>
11
12<p>This directory contains solution and project files for
13Visual&nbsp;C++&nbsp;2010 or newer, named <tt>freetype.sln</tt>,
14and <tt>freetype.vcxproj</tt>.  It compiles the following libraries
15from the FreeType 2.9 sources:</p>
16
17<ul>
18  <li>freetype.dll using 'Release' or 'Debug' configurations</li>
19  <li>freetype.lib using 'Release Static' or 'Debug Static' configurations</li>
20</ul>
21
22<p>Both Win32 and x64 builds are supported.  Build directories and target
23files are placed in the top-level <tt>objs</tt> directory.</p>
24
25<p>Customization of the FreeType library is done by editing the
26<tt>ftoption.h</tt> header file in the top-level <tt>devel</tt> path.
27Alternatively, you may copy the file to another directory and change the
28include directory in <tt>freetype.users.props</tt>.</p>
29
30<p>To configure library dependencies like <em>zlib</em> and <em>libpng</em>,
31edit the <tt>freetype.users.props</tt> file in this directory.  It also
32simplifies automated (command-line) builds using <a
33href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dd393574%28v=vs.100%29.aspx">msbuild</a>.</p>
34
35<p>To link your executable with FreeType DLL, you may want to define
36FT2_DLLIMPORT so that the imported functions are appropriately
37attributed with <tt>dllimport<tt>.</p>
