- There are several ways to build the FreeType library, depending on
- your system and the level of customization you need. Here is a short
- overview of the documentation available:
- I. Normal installation and upgrades
- ===================================
- 1. Native TrueType Hinting
- Native TrueType hinting is disabled by default[1]. If you really
- need it, read the file `TRUETYPE' for information.
- 2. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
- Please read *both* `UPGRADE.UNIX' and `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or
- upgrade FreeType 2 on a Unix system. Note that you *need* GNU
- Make for automatic compilation, since other make tools won't work
- (this includes BSD Make).
- GNU Make VERSION 3.80 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
- 3. On VMS with the `mms' build tool
- See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform.
- 4. Other systems using GNU Make
- On non-Unix platforms, it is possible to build the library using
- GNU Make utility. Note that *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL WILL WORK*[2]!
- This methods supports several compilers on Windows, OS/2, and
- BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
- Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
- 5. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
- We provide a small number of `project files' for various IDEs to
- automatically build the library as well. Note that these files
- are not supported and only sporadically maintained by FreeType
- developers, so don't expect them to work in each release.
- To find them, have a look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
- directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
- 6. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
- If you want to create your own project file, follow the
- instructions given in the `INSTALL.ANY' document of this
- directory.
- II. Custom builds of the library
- ================================
- Customizing the compilation of FreeType is easy, and allows you to
- select only the components of the font engine that you really need.
- For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- [1] More details on: http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
- [2] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
- make extensions to build FreeType. See
- http://makepp.sourceforge.net
- for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
- pass option `--norc-substitution'.
