Hi Ruwei,

no need to apologise - building programs is a hazardous and complicated 
task. All the various
options for using libraries do not help making it easier.

Right now I do not have any experience using the C++ bindings under MSVC 
(more
precisely the sys/win32/msdev platform), as I do not program in C++ 
myself. It may be
worth looking at, but that is a task for the hopefully near future.

I intended to get freetype and GD working correctly for this release, 
but there are a
few wrinkles to iron out first.

Regards,

Arjen
