- [Well, this is not really correct. A few years ago a perl
- implementation of make called `makepp' has appeared which can also
- build FreeType 2 successfully on Unix platforms. See
+ Check that you have GNU make by running the command:
- http://makepp.sourceforge.net
+ make -v
- for more details; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
- pass option `--norc-substitution'.]

- Trying to compile the library with a different Make tool will
- print a message like:
+ GNU Make <version number>
+ Copyright (C) <year> Free Software Foundation Inc.
- Sorry, GNU make is required to build FreeType2.
+ Note that version 3.78.1 or higher is *required*, or the build will
+ fail.
- and the build process will be aborted. If this happens, install
- GNU Make on your system, and use the GNUMAKE environment variable
- to name it, if necessary.
+ It's also OK to have GNU Make under another name (e.g. 'gmake')
+ if you use the GNUMAKE trick described below.

+ As a special exception, 'makepp' can also be used to build
+ FreeType 2. See the file docs/MAKEPP for details

+ ----------------------------------------------
+
+ This only applies if you're building a CVS snapshot or checkout,
+ *not* if you grabbed the sources of an official release.

+ you need to invoke the "autogen.sh" script in the top-level

+ sh autogen.sh <your configure options>
