in original message i attached the screenshot, showing fonts rendered by squeak.. but image is a bit too big for mailing list (150k) ------ I done with it. The resulting VM will not start without freetype.dll. Should i link it statically? But then you should hone their license stuff... Also, building freetype on windoze impossible using gnutools which used for building VM. It's make simply can't understand some things, which i assume appear in later make versions. So, i building freetype using my msys/mingw environment, and then simply producing - freetype.lib (imports library) - freetype.dll or maybe, i wrong, maybe it can be built using gnutools, but this would require too much voodoo dancing. it would be cool to make it cleanly build w/o manual work, but i'm not high expert in makefiles black voodoo. Okay, who wants the VM? And where i can put the stuff + instructions + blablabla? 2008/9/12 Igor Stasenko <siguctua@gmail.com>:

As always, things not working out of the box.
- VM builds from unzipped VM sources OK - but for building with VMMaker generated sources, had to fix 'gnuify' file to make a clean build
i dreaming to build vm straight from squeak, without horrid makefiles. I heard that Keith did a 'Bob' tool which can be used as a kind of make utility. But i think, to fully replace makefiles, it needs an OSProcessPlugin to be able to interact with OS/shell.
Next step, tried to load freetype plugin.... http://source.impara.de/freetype/Freetype-Plugin-JMM.53.mcz http://source.impara.de/freetype/Freetype-Plugin-tween.51.mcz
and guess what? YES! It can't be loaded! :)
MC complains about following:
This package depends on the following classes: FT2Constants
The FT2Constants is the pool dictionary used by plugin. But not defined within package.
