  1. How to build the FreeType library on VMS
  2. ----------------------------------------
  3. It is actually very straightforward to install the FreeType library.
  4. Just execute `vms_make.com from` the toplevel directory to build the
  5. library. This procedure currently accepts the following options:
  6. * `DEBUG`
  7. Build the library with debug information and without optimization.
  8. * `lopts=<value>`
  9. Options to pass to the link command, e.g., `lopts=/traceback`.
  10. * `ccopt=<value>`
  11. Options to pass to the C compiler, e.g., `ccopt=/float=ieee`.
  12. In case you did download the demos, place them in a separate directory
  13. sharing the same top level as the directory of FreeType and follow the
  14. same instructions as above for the demos from there. The build
  15. process relies on this to figure out the location of the FreeType
  16. include files.
  17. To rebuild the sources it is necessary to have MMS/MMK installed on
  18. the system.
  19. The library is available in the directory
  20. [.LIB]
  21. To compile applications using FreeType you have to define the logical
  22. `FREETYPE` pointing to the directory
  23. [.INCLUDE.FREETYPE]
  24. i.e., if the directory in which this `INSTALL.VMS` file is located is
  25. `$disk:[freetype.docs]`, then define the logical with
  26. define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype]
  27. See http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#Freetype for
  28. the packages FreeType depends on.
  29. The latest versions were tested using
  30. - VSI C V7.4-002 and DECWindows V1.7-F on OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L1
  31. - VSI C V7.4-001 and DECWindows V1.7-E on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4-2L3
  32. Any problems can be reported to
  33. Jouk Jansen <[email protected]> or
  34. Orginal version of the build procedures was created by
  35. Martin P.J. Zinser <[email protected]>
