- added support for the free command-line Borland C++ compiler
in the "builds" directory
- modified a few files because BCC32 didn't like certain comparisons
(UInt compared with a UShort, apparently the UShort is promoted to
an Int)
- updated the INSTALL file to include IDE compilation, prevent against
BSD Make, and clarify the use of "make setup" (instead of "make")
for build configuration

In order to build the library, read the `BUILD' document in the `docs'
-directory. Quick starter: Go to `freetype2', then:
+directory. This is only a quick starter:
- Unix + GNU Make:
+I. From the command line:
- - make (don't worry, this will invoke a configure script)
+ You need to have GNU Make installed on your system to compile the
+ library from the command line. This will _not_ work with other
+ Make tools (including the BSD ones !!)
+
+ - Go to the 'freetype2' directory
+
+ - on 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
with the CFG variable, as in:
- - make CFG="--prefix=/usr"
+ - make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr"
- make
- make install
+ - On Windows:
- Windows + gcc + GNU Make:
+ we provide a version of GNU Make for Win32 on the FreeType site.
+ See http://www.freetype.org/download.html for details..
- - make
- - make
+ o if you're using gcc:
- Windows + Visual C++ + GNU Make:
+ - make setup
+ - make
- - make setup visualc
- - make
+ o if you're using Visual C++:
+
+ - make setup visualc
+ - make
+
+ o if you're using Win32-lCC:
+
+ - make setup lcc
+ - make
+
+ o if you're using the Borland C++ Builder compiler:
+
+ - make setup bcc32
+ - make
- Windows + Win32-LCC + GNU Make:
- - make setup lcc
- - make
+II. In your own environment (IDE):
+
+ you need to add the directories "freetype2/include" and "freetype2/src"
+ to your include path when compiling the library.
+
+ compile each library component through the following files:
+
+ -- 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 that:
+
+ '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.
