| In order to build the library, read the `BUILD' document in the `docs' |
| directory. This is only a quick starter. |
| |
| |
| I. From the command line |
| ------------------------ |
| |
| 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)! |
| |
| [Well, this is not really correct. Recently, a perl implementation |
| of make called `makepp' has appeared which can also build FreeType 2 |
| successfully on Unix platforms. See http://LNC.usc.edu/~holt/makepp |
| for more details.] |
| |
| - Go to the `freetype2' directory. |
| |
| - Unix (any C compiler should work): |
| |
| - make setup (don't worry, this will invoke a configure script) |
| - make |
| - make install |
| |
| Alternatively, you can pass parameters to the configure script |
| within the CFG variable, as in: |
| |
| - make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr" |
| - make |
| - make install |
| |
| - Windows: |
| |
| We provide a version of GNU Make for Win32 on the FreeType site. |
| See http://www.freetype.org/download.html for details. |
| |
| - gcc (Mingw, _not_ CygWin): |
| |
| - make setup |
| - make |
| |
| |
| - Visual C++: |
| |
| - make setup visualc |
| - make |
| |
| |
| - other compilers: |
| |
| - make setup xxxx |
| - make |
| |
| where "xxxx" is a special target corresponding to your compiler. |
| To see a list of supported compilers in this release, type: |
| |
| make setup list |
| |
| |
| II. In your own environment (IDE) |
| --------------------------------- |
| |
| You need to add the directories "freetype2/include" to |
| your include path when compiling the library. |
| |
| FreeType 2 is made of several components, each one 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/ftglyph.c |
| src/base/ftbbox.c |
| src/base/ftmm.c |
| |
| src/base/ftmac.c -- only on the Macintosh |
| |
| -- other components are optional |
| |
| src/autohint/autohint.c -- auto hinting module |
| src/cache/ftcache.c -- cache sub-system (in beta) |
| src/sfnt/sfnt.c -- SFNT files support (TrueType & OpenType) |
| src/cff/cff.c -- CFF/OpenType font driver |
| src/psnames/psnames.c -- Postscript glyph names support |
| src/psaux/psaux.c -- Postscript Type 1 parsing |
| src/truetype/truetype.c -- TrueType font driver |
| src/type1/type1.c -- Type 1 font driver |
| src/cid/type1cid.c -- Type 1 CID-keyed font driver |
| src/winfonts/winfonts.c -- Windows FONT / FNT font driver |
| |
| Note: |
| |
| `truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c' |
| `type1.c' needs `psaux.c' and `psnames.c' |
| `type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c' and `psnames.c' |
| `cff.c' needs `sfnt.c', `psaux.c', and `psnames.c' |
| |
| etc. |
