Thanks for the reply that is exactly it. I downloaded several 
dlls from the internet, and then decided to build it myself. I 
see there is a bzip configuration option but I'll need to read 
the documentation and presumably bzip gets linked into the dll.

I managed to get the application running by ignoring these 
missing functions:

        if(
                 symbolName == "FT_Stream_OpenBzip2" ||
                 symbolName == 
"FT_Get_CID_Registry_Ordering_Supplement" ||
                 symbolName == 
"FT_Get_CID_Is_Internally_CID_Keyed" ||
                 symbolName == "FT_Get_CID_From_Glyph_Index"
             ) {

I imagine there will be a crash if they actually get called.
