Hi. I have discovered problem with building release dll of SDL_ttf for ARM (windows 8.1). I'm getting this error
Quote:
3>c:\users\username\documents\projects\sdl2\sdl_ttf\external\freetype-2.4.12\src\autofit\afcjk.c(307): fatal error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.

If I will change optimization level of freetype project to O1, dll will be created successfully. I would like to know is there another solution how to fix it?

Hmmm, I thought I had already pushed out a fix for that one. It looks like I hadn't. Apologies for that! A fix is, however, now available on hg.libsdl.org.

The fix you described seems pretty much correct, unfortunately, (changing /O2 to /O1), although the fix appears to be limitable to just one file (Freetype's autofit.c), and only when building Release + ARM (the bug doesn't seem to appear on either x86/Win32 or x64 builds). The patch I pushed out keeps this limitation, so most of Freetype + SDL_ttf will continue to build with /O2.

Thanks for the info on this!
