> *** STLPort ***
+> First  problem  is  building  STLPort.
+> (first big problem is the size - You  should  have  a  plenty  of  free
+space on
+> hard drive. After building, STLPORT occupies 377946112 bytes)
+> For some reasons or other nmake
+> doesn't  work for me as expected (could be what Win32 also hate me as I
+> hate Win32 ;)) It reports a lot of errors and exit.
+> To  solve  this problem you can do File->Open STLport-4.0\src\vc6.mak and
+> then do Build->build  stlport.exe
+> Finally, after 30 minutes of hard work (PIII500/256), you'll have .lib &
+.dll & .pdb
+> files   located   at  STLport-4.0\lib  Manually copy .lib (and I think
+> .pdb  too)  to  VC default \lib location and don't forget to copy .dll
+> files to some place where they could be found at runtime.
+
+yes
+
+> *** FreeType 2 ***
+> You need GNU Make 3.77 Link at FreeType site is broken
+> Grab it from
+ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/freetype/contrib/win32/gnumake-win32.zi
+p
+> or any other place you want

+
+yes too...
+
+In fact, I put in the INSTALL all things that you have to do to compile
+freetype, stlport and so on.
+But, I had to remove these information because, some people in Nevrax think
+that it s not our job
+to explain how to compile others external libraries.
+
+Thanks for all these informations and we hope that they helps everybody to
+compile more easily.
