I. From the command line
------------------------
+ There are two ways to quickly build FreeType 2 from the command line.
+
+ The first, and favorite one, is to use the "Jam" build tool. Jam is
+ a highly portable replacement for Make whose control files do not
+ depend on the current platform or compiler toolset.
+
+ For more information, please see: http://www.freetype.org/jam/index.html
+
+ The second one is to use "GNU Make" (and NO OTHER MAKE TOOL).
+
+
+ 1. Building FT2 with "Jam":
+ ===========================
+
+ once you've got *our version* of the Jam tool installed on your
+ system, simply go to the top-level FT2 directory, then type:
+
+ "jam"
+
+ on the command line. This will build the library and place it
+ in the "objs" directory.
+
+ By default, a static library is built. On Unix systems, it's possible
+ to build a shared library through the "libtool" script. You'll need
+ to have libtool installed on your system, then re-define a few
+ environment variables before invoking Jam, as in:
+
+ export CC="libtool --mode=compile"
+ export LINK="libtool --mode=link"
+ jam
+
+ In later releases of FT2, building shared libraries with Jam should
+ become automatic..
+
+
+ 2. Building FT2 with "GNU Make":
+ ================================
+
You need to have GNU Make (version 3.78.1 or newer) installed on
your system to compile the library from the command line. This will
_NOT_ work with other make tools (including BSD make)!
