Unable to run Hiero from IntelliJ since 1.8.0: "Couldn't load shared library 'libgdx-freetype64.so'"

See original GitHub issue

Since the addition of FreeType support to Hiero (yay for that, by the way), Hiero no longer starts:

I’m just right-clicking the Hiero class, and running it with the classpath of the desktop module. This used to work, so either the documentation is outdated or something in the dependency setup is broken.

I have added compile “com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-freetype-platform:$gdxVersion:natives-desktop” and it really works

I added these to the desktop project to fix it:

compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-freetype:$gdxVersion"
compile "com.badlogicgames.gdx:gdx-freetype-platform:$gdxVersion:natives-desktop"

Naturally, most people using Hiero don’t use gdx-freetype in their core project. So maybe gdx-tools needs to declare a dependency on gdx-freetype? Or otherwise, this workaround should be documented on the wiki (which I’ll happily do if this can’t be fixed with gradle-fu).
