[ft] Troubles while installing freetypes 2 under VC++ 6

[Farouk Choulak]

Hi there,

As I've written in the topic, i'm trying to install freetypes on my 
computer which is running a wonderfull Visual C++ 6.

I've downloaded GNU make, set my make configuration to visualc (using 
make visualc as described in the manual) and launched again make. My 
troubles start there
as VC++ finds errors with macros such as those ones :

C:\freetype-2.1.10>C:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make visualc

FreeType build system -- automatic system detection

The following settings are used:

 platform                     win32
 compiler                     cl
 configuration directory      .\builds\win32
 configuration rules          .\builds\win32\w32-vcc.mk

If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the 
file
'config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help.

Otherwise, simply type 'make' again to build the library.
or 'make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

C:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make: Nothing to be done for `visualc'.

I guess this is (again) a matter with Visual Studio but i've no choice 
but try to do it working with...

I've also tried to use the dsw and dsp provided in 
contribs/win32/visualc but they just don't work either... The first one 
doesn't open at all (
perhaps because he has been set for .NET or VC++ 7 ?) and the second one 
returns me errors about unresolved symbols while linking...

Can anybody try to help me ?

Greetings,
