Re: Make ft2dmo2130

Pretty sure it is a user error. The include is within a "#ifdef UNIX" and "#ifndef HAVE_POSIX_TERMIOS" block.

UNIX defined and not HAVE_POSIX_TERMIOS is a a rather old unix box. I think the mingw compiler works either as a modern unix-like system or a non-unix system, not an old unix system.

Hi,

I recently came across the FreeType project and was interested to learn about the library. I was able to successfully build ft2130 on a Windows 10 system using MING-W64. However, when I tried to make ft2dmo2130, I came across the error "ft2demos/src/ttdebug.c:35:10: fatal error: termios.h: No such file o

After consulting the mailing list archives, I came across this message describing a similar issue with termios.h

I realize the message is from 2020, but is this termios problem still present? I didn't see a fix in the attached thread. This is my first time getting involved with open source, so please let me know if there is anything I am missing.

Thanks
