Yes, I am aware :( Long term I hope windows 32bit gets the same occasional love as zero does. I can produce occasional patches if time allows.

But in this case the error was in front of the computer, as Magnus pointed, I may just have a broken build env.

Thanks for your fix, btw! removing the freetypelib building hassle is a huge step toward an easier windows build setup.

This is a tricky one. Since Oracle no longer ships 32 bit JDKs for any platform for the new releases, then there aren't resources or effort being put into making sure it still builds. Our build systems might still support it, but for how long? It might effectively have to become a "port" that someone outside will step up to maintain. Not as different as AIX .. or as much effort perhaps .. but if someone will do that I expect patches would not be refused.
