There are several ways to build the FreeType library, depending on
|
|
|
3 |
your system and the level of customization you need. Here is a short
|
|
|
4 |
overview of the documentation available:

I. Normal installation and upgrades
|
|
|
8 |
===================================
|
|
|

|
|

1. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
Please read *both* `UPGRADE.UNIX' and `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or
|
|
|
13 |
upgrade FreeType 2 on a Unix system. Note that you *need* GNU
|
|
|
14 |
Make for automatic compilation, since other make tools won't work
|
|
|
15 |
(this includes BSD Make).
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
GNU Make VERSION 3.80 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
|
|
|
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
2. On VMS with the `mms' build tool
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform.
|
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
3. Other systems using GNU Make
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
|
27 |
On non-Unix platforms, it is possible to build the library using
|
|
|
28 |
GNU Make utility. Note that *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL WILL WORK*[1]!
|
|
|
29 |
This methods supports several compilers on Windows, OS/2, and
|
|
|
30 |
BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
|
|
|
31 |
|
|
|
32 |
Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
We provide a small number of `project files' for various IDEs to
|
|
|
38 |
automatically build the library as well. Note that these files
|
|
|
39 |
are not supported and only sporadically maintained by FreeType
|
|
|
40 |
developers, so don't expect them to work in each release.
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
To find them, have a look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
|
|
|
43 |
directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
5. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
If you want to create your own project file, follow the
|
|
|
49 |
instructions given in the `INSTALL.ANY' document of this
|
|
|
50 |
directory.
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
|
52 |
|
|
|
53 |
II. Custom builds of the library
|
|
|
54 |
================================
|
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
Customizing the compilation of FreeType is easy, and allows you to
|
|
|
57 |
select only the components of the font engine that you really need.
|
|
|
58 |
For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.

[1] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
|
|
|
64 |
make extensions to build FreeType. See

for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
|
|
|
69 |
pass option `--norc-substitution'.
