+There are several ways to build the FreeType library, depending on your
+system and the level of customization you need. Here is a short
+overview of the documentation available:
+
+
+I. Normal installation and upgrades
+===================================
+
+ 1. Native TrueType Hinting
+
+ Native TrueType hinting is disabled by default[1]. If you really
+ need it, read the file "TRUETYPE" for information.
+
+ 2. Unix Systems (as well as Cygwin or MSys on Windows)
+
+ Please read *both* UPGRADE.UNX and INSTALL.UNX to install or upgrade
+ FreeType 2 on a Unix system. Note that you *will* need GNU Make,
+ since other make tools won't work (this includes BSD Make).
+
+ 3. On VMS with the "mms" build tool
+
+ See INSTALL.VMS for installation instructions on this platform.
+
+ 4. Other systems using GNU Make
+
+ On non-Unix platforms, it is possible to build the library using GNU
+ Make utility. Note that *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL WILL WORK*[2]! This
+ methods supports several compilers on Windows, OS/2, and BeOS,
+ including Mingw, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
+
+ Instructions are provided in the file "INSTALL.GNU".
+
+ 5. With an IDE Project File (e.g. for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
+
+ We provide a small number of "project files" for various IDEs to
+ automatically build the library as well. Note that these files are
+ not supported and sporadically maintained by FreeType developers, so
+ don't expect them to work in each release.
+
+ To find them, have a look at the content of the "builds/<system>"
+ directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
+
+ 6. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
+
+ If you want to create your own project file, follow the instructions
+ given in the "INSTALL.ANY" document of this directory.
+
+
+II. Custom builds of the library
+================================
+
+ Customizing the compilation of FreeType is easy, and allows you to
+ select only the components of the font engine that you really need.
+ For more details read the file "CUSTOMIZE".
+
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+[1] More details on: http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
+
+[2] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
+ make extensions to build FreeType. See
+ http://makepp.sourceforge.net for more information; you need version
+ 1.19 or newer, and you must pass option `--norc-substitution'.
