Re: [Freetype] First try in Mac OS 9 not working

[Garrick Meeker]

The codewarrior project is pretty out of date.  I'd post mine but I'm using 
Codewarrior 9 so it wouldn't be of much use.  You basically need to add 
one .c from each directory corresponding to a driver mentioned in the error 
messages (the one that includes all the other .c files in that directory).  
(The other thing missing is a carbon build that defines 
TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON, but that doesn't matter for OS 9.)
