Hello,
under Ubunto 5.10 my application is compiled by theIDE in a 3 MB executable (shared + blitz). Today I tried to compile my application using the Makefile produced by theIDE itself. It was impossible. After many temptives I've understood the reason; in the makefile was
absent the path of the freetype2 font.
UPPOUT = /home/vega/upp/out/
CINC = -I$(UPPDIR1) -I$(UPPDIR2) I/usr/include/freetype2
...
---------------------------------------------
This is not necessary in Windows. Of course this include is present in the menu item Setup/Build Method.
Moreover the dimension of the executable became 4.4 MB instead of the previous 3. This means that the Makefile generated do not reflect the same setting used by theIDE to produce its exe file.

BLITZ increases binary size. Do NOT use BLITZ for release versions.
As for makefile, well, sorry about that. Makefile generator is intended as auxiliary tool - if you want to distribute your code with makefile. In that case, you are supposed to finish the makefile manually.
