day 1 - today we attempted to change the compiling methods for PDFHummus.

to remind ourselves why we are doing this? He does not have makefile and it is
hardcoded to MSVC <- bad IDE. minGW cant link against MSVC compiled code.

first we installed library, freetype2 and also had to figure out how to compile.
then we were able to go through PDFHummus bad code, and learn to include other files,
undefined data types (that were hidden in his library, files).

in short, maybe learned how to use command line switches a little bit better.
major difference of today? -I vs -include. one for directory, one for files.
