[ft] Howto compile Freetype on cygwin shared

[Daniela Duerbeck]

Hi!

I am new to this list and not sure about of everything I do is correct.
I have a simple question: I want to compile freetype on cygwin in a way, 
I get shared objects. I didn't succeed and so I use the libraries that 
come with cygwin, but when I try to make fontsamples of different fonts 
many characters are missing, (I use ImageMagick to make the samples).
But since I am using an old version of freetype, I'd like to know how to 
obtain a newer one.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Dani
