Instructions on how to build FreeType with your own build tool
==============================================================

See  the  file `CUSTOMIZE'  to  learn  how  to customize  FreeType  to
specific environments.


I. Standard procedure
---------------------

  * DISABLE PRE-COMPILED  HEADERS!  This is very  important for Visual
    C++, because FreeType uses lines like:

      #include FT_FREETYPE_H

    which are not correctly supported by this compiler while being ISO
    C compliant!

  * You need to add the directory `include' to your  include path when
    compiling the library.

  * FreeType 2 is made of  several components; each of them is located
    in    a   subdirectory    of   `freetype2/src'.     For   example,
    `freetype2/src/truetype/' contains the TrueType font driver.

  * DO NOT COMPILE ALL C FILES!  Rather, compile the following ones.

    -- base components (required)

      src/base/ftsystem.c
      src/base/ftinit.c
      src/base/ftdebug.c

      src/base/ftbase.c

      src/base/fttype1.c      -- optional, see <t1tables.h>
      src/base/ftwinfnt.c     -- optional, see <ftwinfnt.h>

      src/base/ftmac.c        -- only on the Macintosh

    -- font drivers (optional; at least one is needed)

      src/bdf/bdf.c           -- BDF font driver
      src/cff/cff.c           -- CFF/OpenType font driver
      src/cid/type1cid.c      -- Type 1 CID-keyed font driver
      src/pcf/pcf.c           -- PCF font driver
      src/pfr/pfr.c           -- PFR/TrueDoc font driver
      src/sfnt/sfnt.c         -- SFNT files support
                                 (TrueType & OpenType)
      src/truetype/truetype.c -- TrueType font driver
      src/type1/type1.c       -- Type 1 font driver
      src/type42/type42.c     -- Type 42 font driver
      src/winfonts/winfnt.c   -- Windows FONT / FNT font driver

    -- rasterizers (optional; at least one is needed for vector
       formats)

      src/raster/raster.c     -- monochrome rasterizer
      src/smooth/smooth.c     -- anti-aliasing rasterizer

    -- auxiliary modules (optional)

      src/autofit/autofit.c   -- auto hinting module
      src/cache/ftcache.c     -- cache sub-system (in beta)
      src/gzip/ftgzip.c       -- support for compressed fonts (.gz)
      src/lzw/ftlzw.c         -- support for compressed fonts (.Z)
      src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c     -- support for compressed fonts (.bz2)
      src/gxvalid/gxvalid.c   -- TrueTypeGX/AAT table validation
      src/otvalid/otvalid.c   -- OpenType table validation
      src/psaux/psaux.c       -- PostScript Type 1 parsing
      src/pshinter/pshinter.c -- PS hinting module
      src/psnames/psnames.c   -- PostScript glyph names support


    Notes:

      `ftcache.c'  needs `ftglyph.c'
      `ftfstype.c' needs `fttype1.c'
      `ftglyph.c'  needs `ftbitmap.c'
      `ftstroke.c' needs `ftglyph.c'
      `ftsynth.c'  needs `ftbitmap.c'

      `cff.c'      needs `sfnt.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
      `truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c'
      `type1.c'    needs `psaux.c' `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
      `type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
      `type42.c'   needs `truetype.c'

      Please consult the central  `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
      configuration file for details on additional libraries necessary
      for some optional features.


  Read the file `CUSTOMIZE' in case  you want to compile only a subset
  of  the  drivers,  renderers,   and  optional  modules;  a  detailed
  description of the various base  extension is given in the top-level
  file `modules.cfg'.

  You are done.  In case of problems, see the archives of the FreeType
  development mailing list.


II. Support for flat-directory compilation
------------------------------------------

  It is  possible to  put all  FreeType 2 source  files into  a single
  directory, with the *exception* of the `include' hierarchy.

  1. Copy all files in current directory

      cp freetype2/src/base/*.[hc] .
      cp freetype2/src/raster1/*.[hc] .
      cp freetype2/src/smooth/*.[hc] .
      etc.

  2. Compile sources

      cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftsystem.c
      cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftinit.c
      cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftdebug.c
      cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftbase.c
      etc.

    You don't  need to define  the FT_FLAT_COMPILATION macro  (as this
    was required in previous releases of FreeType 2).
