Any update/news on this 'mess'?

We downloaded master branch and typed: make all

[cid:0a77b673-86c3-4712-9d52-61f3cd82aae9]

Hi Eli,
hope it is ok to email to you directly...

Thank you for your answer. I know this is not your fault, but I really disslike the outdated instructions on the web. And it does not look to end with this...
This is what hapenned, after typing "make" from the folder /c/ft10
$ make
config.mk:25: /c/ft10/freetype-2.10.1/builds/unix/unix-def.mk: No such filename or directory
config.mk:26: /c/ft10/freetype-2.10.1/builds/unix/unix-cc.mk: No such filename or directory
make: cft10freetype-2.10.includefreetypefreetype.n: Command not found
make: *** No rule to make target `/c/ft10/freetye-2.10.1/builds/unix7unix-cc.mk'.  Stop.

In the /c/ft10/freetype-2.10.1/builds/unix/ there are following files starting "unix...":
unix.mk
unix-cc.in
unixddef.mk
unix-def.in
unix-dev.mk
unixlcc.mk

but I don't think the issue is so simple as to rename some filenames. Somebody should clean this mess and correct the web-instruction.

Thank you for your help
Tony.

Those instructions seem to be outdated, as there's now a prebuilt
Makefile there, so no need to run the (absent) configure script. Just
run "make".
