Building Freetype with MinGW-64
A few technical notes, because this was harder than it needed to be due to development environment cruft.
- Remove MSYS from your PATH.
- Disable Windows Subsystem for Linux.
- Remove old versions of GCC from your PATH.
- Install MinGW-64 using WinBuilds.

mingw32-make.exe
tomake.exe
inwinbuilds\bin

- Open Terminal in build target directory (reminder: Shift+RMB).
make
make install
