Firstly, please keep freetype-devel in the cc. This is not a private consultation.
Already said yours is a user error. ttdebug needs old or posix termios functionality \
OR conio.h (on windows). Defining UNIX on mingw is just wrong. Cygwin provides \
termios, so you could use that . Cygwin is not mingw. The other possibility is \
windows sub-system for Linux, on newer window systems. AFAIK msys2 is just a wrapper \
around mingw, so ditto. OTOH, ttdebug is rather the deeper part of freetype-demo... \
if you are struggling with make/compiling, and you are only interested in learning \
about freetype on Windows in general, maybe you should first try to learn to skip it \
and NOT build it. That's quite easy - remove "ttdebug" from the EXES list in the top \
level Makefile, I think. The individual demo names are listed in the EXES, so you \
could do "make a, make b, make c..." etc to make the individual ones, instead of \
plain "make" (which makes all of EXES). On Friday, 3 March 2023 at 10:52:17 GMT+8, \

I'm currently using MSYS2. I'm pretty sure the issue is that MSYS2 just doesn't \
support POSIX, so I am currently trying to build in cygwin. Using cygwin solved the \
termios.h problem.
However, I'm still getting errors with files not being found. Is there any \
installation process for Windows freetype-demos that has been confirmed to work? I'm \
still a little new to Make, compiling, etc, so please let me know if I'm missing \
something. Thanks
