well, it took me longer to realise that the postcommands where already there than to actually solve the problem , ;) , which turned out to be related to 2 different versions of freetype ...

and yeah, it would be really nice if the error-or-startupreports would be a bit more detailed ... could have saved this or another hour ... ;)

tknks anyway, ltr ..

I looked at the code, and discovered immediately that (mea culpa!) there are situations in which the "-lib" flag handling fails and exits without a message! So I'd put printf's at the beginning and end of "sys_loademup()" in the file "s_loader.c". If the function gets to the last line it succeeded, otherwise it failed. I'll go back and put in some better error reporting for the next release...

PS main() calls sys_argparse() which calls sys_loademup(), so if I'm wrong about what's failing I'd go back up the call chain.
