| Werner Lemberg | b4119a9 | 2005-05-24 13:46:17 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | UNIXish platforms. To generate them say |
| 3 | |
| 4 | sh autogen.sh |
| 5 | |
| 6 | which in turn depends on the following packages: |

| Werner Lemberg | a984fda | 2008-06-09 21:02:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | automake (1.10.1) |
| 9 | libtool (2.2.4) |
| 10 | autoconf (2.62) |

| Werner Lemberg | 4ea0a7f | 2007-01-05 09:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 12 | The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions |
| 13 | should work too, of course. Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper |
| 14 | file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts. |

| Werner Lemberg | 4ea0a7f | 2007-01-05 09:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 16 | A very common problem is that this script complains that the `aclocal' |
| 17 | program doesn't accept a `--force' option: |

| 19 | generating `configure.ac' |
| 20 | running `aclocal -I . --force' |
| 21 | aclocal: unrecognized option -- `--force' |
| 22 | Try `aclocal --help' for more information. |
| 23 | error while running `aclocal -I . --force' |
| 24 | |
| Werner Lemberg | 4ea0a7f | 2007-01-05 09:03:31 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 25 | This means that your version of the automake package is too old. |
| 26 | Please update it before trying to build FreeType. |

| 32 | make setup ansi |
| 33 | make |
| 34 | |
| 35 | should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp). |
