Building OCCT 6.6.0 with VS 2010 x64

Hi Friends,

I am trying to build opencascade 6.6.0 with VS 2010. I was able to build
1. Application Framework 2. Modeling Data 3. Modeling Algorithm but when I start building 4. Visualization , I am getting an error as follows..

Unable to open file "freetype.lib"

As I have checked documentation, it is mentioned that freetype is used as a dynamic library since OCCT 6.5.3 and the only file related to freetype I have is "freetype2410MT.dll".

Also, when I checked opencascade code, it asks for freetype.lib using a #pragma command.

Someone please help me with this..I have already spent many days trying to find out the reason.

Dear SAMYAK JAIN,
The default release of OCCT6.6.0 libraries is done for vc9 & win32 & Release setting.
If you want to use it for another configuration you should rebuild it starting from '3rdparty' products for sure.
See for details OCCT html documentation => at the "Building Modules/Third-party products" chapter. I do hope this detailed instructions will help you.
Besides don't forget to make corresponding modifications of the 'custom.bat'.
Regards
