+This document contains instructions on how to build the FreeType library
+on Unix systems. This also works for emulations like Cygwin or MSys on
+Win32:
+
+
+ 1. Ensure that you are using GNU Make
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make. You
+ will not be able to compile the library with the instructions below
+ using any other alternative (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://makepp.sourceforge.net
+ 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:
+
+ Sorry, GNU make is required to build FreeType2.
+
+ 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.
+
+
+ 2. Build and install the library
+ --------------------------------
+
+ The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make'
+ command invokes GNU Make:
+
+ ./configure [options]
+ make
+ make install (as root)
+
+ The default installation path is "/usr/local". It can be changed
+ with the `--prefix=<path>' option. Example:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+
+ When using a different command to invoke GNU Make, use the GNUMAKE
+ variable. For example, if `gmake' is the command to use on your
+ system, do something like:
+
+ GNUMAKE=gmake ./configure [options]
+ gmake
+ gmake install (as root)
+
+ If this still doesn't work, something's rotten on your system
+ (e.g. you are using a very old version of GNU Make).
+
+ It is possible to compile FreeType in a different directory.
+ Assuming the FreeType source files in directory `/src/freetype' a
+ compilation in directory `foo' works as follows:
+
+ cd foo
+ /src/freetype/configure [options]
+ make
+ make install
