-SET(WANT_LIB64 FALSE)
-SET(PODOFO_BUILD_SHARED TRUE)
-SET(PODOFO_BUILD_STATIC FALSE)

-PoDoFo's CMakeLists.txt is pretty bad. Run the cmake-gui and fill in values for
-freetype2 and open ssl (choose any one .lib for the libcrypto variable, you
-will have to fix it manually in Visual Studio later anyway). Then generate the
-VisualStudio solution. In the solution. In the Solution got to
-Project->Properties->Linker->Input and add the second ssl library. And in
-C++->General add the openssl include dir.

-Now build only the project podofo_shared (release mode)
