Hiyas

I had some problems running an application with MyGUI. After running dependency walker on it I found that MyGUI_d.dll was the culprit. After still more deliberations and some tests, I recompiled freetype in vc9 and now everything works fine.

The problem was that after being compiled against freetype MyGUI depended on the VC80 CRT. Recompiling it from source (http://freetype.sourceforge.net/index2.html) and linking MyGUI with it the dependency goes away.

This is just a pointer to anyone who might have this problem in the future :)

P.S. if I might make a suggestion, you could link against the dependencies that are available for download with the OgreSDK or separately if you are using SVN like me. The VC9.0 ones that is.

Thank you for noticing. Several users encountered same problem and I told them same solution :) It's also possible to use freetype from Ogre dependencies.
