Title:  CMakeLists.txt for fontconfig library (enables
        native compilation on windows)

  
    I'd like to see this so I can perhaps
      incorporate some of that dynamic code generation into the cmake
      project.  Right now I simply use a custom config.h stored in a
      (new) msvcport subfolder of fontconfig, and I don't generate
      fclang.h or .def files (my fontconfig library is static, but I
      could add a shared library target as well).

      
      Thank you,

          Pavel.

        Hi,
         
        That's interesting.
            On my side I had similar requirements and I've built an MSVC
            2008 project file for fontconfig 2.10.1 with the dirent
            emulation as well. The project dynamically generates the
            fclang.h and other header files from the templates as well
            the .def file with the DLL exports, much like what is done
            with the configure based build.
         
        If anyone is
            interested I can post the patch to the mailing list.
         
        Best,

        Hi,

            
            I've needed to debug a strange crash in fontconfig-2.10.1
            library in my

            video player on winxp.   The mingw build of fontconfig was
            not working

            right, so I ended up making a cmake project for fontconfig
            (just the

            library, not any of the executables).  I've used this to
            generate a

            MSVS2005 solution and build fontconfig natively.  I've also
            added a very

            thin portability layer to compensate for lack of dirent.h
            (and a couple

            other minor things) on windows.  If anyone is interested I
            can

            contribute a patch (I'll have to clean it up a little
            first).

            
                 Pavel.
