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

  
    Turns out the only reason my cmake
      project worked was because I had previously run ./configure and it
      generated those .h files for me.  I need to figure out a way to
      generate them via cmake instead.  I would appreciate if you would
      share your vs2008 project.

      
      Thank you,

          Pavel.

      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,

          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.
