How to install FTGL library on windows?

Question

I want to use the haskell FTGL binding, which need the FTGL library. There seems no binary for windows and I can't find any useful info on how to compile it. What's the easiest way to make it work?

Answer 1

FTGL's source download comes with visual studio solution files (.sln), which can be built with visual studio to product the c/C++ .lib files.

They may be an older version of visual studio, but you can upgrade them which ever version you have.
