[vtk-developers] bug 8513, updating freetype; need Windows dev to help

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Well, I'm not really sure how to compile 32 bit on blackrose.  I tried simply adding -m32 to the C and CXX flags, but the configure failed.  (It might be because there are no 32 bit Python libraries.)  Are there any other 64 bit machines that can be tried?

Ugh.

I noticed from your screenshots that you were running in 64 bit.  Did
you run in 64 bit on your Mac too?  I wonder if the pointers are being
truncated by being converted to a 32bit 'int' somewhere.  Could you test
in 32 bit on blackrose and in 64 bit on your Mac?
