[Image-SIG] Problem building PIL with freetype

[howard at eegsoftware.com]

(Windows98, PIL1.1.4, Freetype 2.1.4,zlib.1.1.4 (? without looking),jpeg.6b)

When I try building PIL with FREETYPEDIR pointing to the source directories, I get 
the following error:

   Creating library build\temp.win32-2.2\Release\_imagingft.lib and object build
\temp.win32-2.2\Release\_imagingft.exp
ftinit.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _pfr_driver_class

error: command '"D:\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\BIN\link.exe"' failed with exit

When I try pointing FREETYPEDIR to just the built-up libraries, I get the following 
error:

_imagingft.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes
_imagingft.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_New_Face
_imagingft.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Init_FreeType

_imagingft.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Done_Face
build\lib.win32-2.2\_imagingft.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 6 unresolved externals

I am not sure where to go next......

Suggestions welcomed since this is the last link before I have to deliver something...
