Shawn,
good point, many thanks for your efforts.
FreeType is an option only.
It is not needed for LibreCAD itself, but for the tool
ttf2lff which can convert TTF fonts into LibreCAD's LFF font format.
When FreeType is not found by qmake,
ttf2lff is not build, only LibreCAD.
This will leave a message in the terminal or output window, but not an error and should not stop the build.
FreeType has to be downloaded separate, it is not part of Qt.
Off the top of my head I can't say which FreeType version is correct.
I assume, this is the right place to find FreeType for windows:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htmTo build
ttf2lff the developer files are needed!
