I am not sure what you mean by "installed" - installed into \windows\system32<br>
or installed in the JRE bin directory? But the latter is the only way its supposed to<br>
work, and the build should take the copy of freetype.dll you provide to it, and<br>
copy it to that location. At runtime, freetype is treated like any other JRE provided<br>
DLL, such as awt.dll, net.dll, etc. The difference is only at build time, since the openjdk<br>
sources don't contain the freetype sources. You need to build it separately.<br><font color="#888888">

Hi Volker,<br>
<br>
I would like to know have you tried to run gui application with the build on another<br>
windows machine which doesn't have freetype.dll installed ? I had built jdk on<br>
windows but found that it can run gui applications in the machine built it, but cann't<br>
run gui application in machines without freetype installed.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I've put together a short description on how to build both, a 64- and<br>
a 32-bit version of OpenJDK 8 on a plain, vanilla WindowsXP 64-bit<br>
operating system using only free (as in free beer) tools:<br>

<br>
It seems as if it is not that hard anymore nowadays:)<br>
