Note that if you are -running Cygwin or MSys in Windows, you should follow the instructions in -the file INSTALL.UNX instead. - - - FreeType 2 includes a powerful and flexible build system that allows - you to easily compile it on a great variety of platforms from the - command line. To do so, just follow these simple instructions: - - 1. Install GNU Make - ------------------- - - Because GNU Make is the only Make tool supported to compile - FreeType 2, you should install it on your machine. - - The FreeType 2 build system relies on many features special to GNU - Make -- trying to build the library with any other Make tool will - *fail*. - - NEARLY ALL OTHER MAKE TOOLS WILL FAIL, INCLUDING "BSD MAKE", SO - REALLY INSTALL A RECENT VERSION OF GNU MAKE ON YOUR SYSTEM! - - Note that make++, a make tool written in Perl, supports enough - features of GNU make to compile FreeType. See - http://makepp.sourceforge.net for more information; you need version - 1.19 or newer, and you must pass option `--norc-substitution'. - - Make sure that you are invoking GNU Make from the command line, by - typing something like: - - make -v - - to display its version number. - - VERSION 3.78.1 OR NEWER IS NEEDED! - - - 2. Invoke 'make' - ---------------- - - Go to the root directory of FreeType 2, then simply invoke GNU Make - from the command line. This will launch the FreeType 2 host - platform detection routines. A summary will be displayed, for - example, on Win32: - - - ============================================================== - FreeType build system -- automatic system detection - - The following settings are used: - - platform win32 - compiler gcc - configuration directory ./builds/win32 - configuration rules ./builds/win32/w32-gcc.mk - - If this does not correspond to your system or settings please - remove the file 'config.mk' from this directory then read the - INSTALL file for help. - - Otherwise, simply type 'make' again to build the library. - ============================================================= - - - If the detected settings correspond to your platform and compiler, - skip to step 5. Note that if your platform is completely alien to - the build system, the detected platform will be 'ansi'. - - - 3. Configure the build system for a different compiler - ------------------------------------------------------ - - If the build system correctly detected your platform, but you want - to use a different compiler than the one specified in the summary - (for most platforms, gcc is the defaut compiler), invoke GNU Make - with - - make setup <compiler> - - Examples: - - to use Visual C++ on Win32, type: "make setup visualc" - to use Borland C++ on Win32, type "make setup bcc32" - to use Watcom C++ on Win32, type "make setup watcom" - to use Intel C++ on Win32, type "make setup intelc" - to use LCC-Win32 on Win32, type: "make setup lcc" - to use Watcom C++ on OS/2, type "make setup watcom" - to use VisualAge C++ on OS/2, type "make setup visualage" - - The <compiler> name to use is platform-dependent. The list of - available compilers for your system is available in the file - `builds/<system>/detect.mk' - - If you are satisfied by the new configuration summary, skip to - step 5. - - - 4. Configure the build system for an unknown platform/compiler - -------------------------------------------------------------- - - The auto-detection/setup phase of the build system copies a file to - the current directory under the name `config.mk'. - - For example, on OS/2+gcc, it would simply copy - `builds/os2/os2-gcc.mk' to `./config.mk'. - - If for some reason your platform isn't correctly detected, copy - manually the configuration sub-makefile to `./config.mk' and go to - step 5. - - Note that this file is a sub-Makefile used to specify Make variables - for compiler and linker invocation during the build. You can easily - create your own version from one of the existing configuration - files, then copy it to the current directory under the name - `./config.mk'. - - - 5. Build the library - -------------------- - - The auto-detection/setup phase should have copied a file in the - current directory, called `./config.mk'. This file contains - definitions of various Make variables used to invoke the compiler - and linker during the build. - - To launch the build, simply invoke GNU Make again: The top Makefile - will detect the configuration file and run the build with it. - - - Final note - - The build system builds a statically linked library of the font - engine in the "objs" directory. It does _not_ support the build of - DLLs on Windows and OS/2. If you need these, you have to either use - a IDE-specific project file, or follow the instructions in - "INSTALL.ANY" to create your own Makefiles. - - ---- end of INSTALL.GNU --- |
