Enable the TrueType bytecode hinter if you need it - ----------------------------------------------------- - - See the instructions in the file "TRUETYPE" of this directory. - - Note that FreeType supports TrueType fonts without the bytecode - interpreter through its auto-hinter, which now generates relatively - good results with most fonts. - - - 2. Determine the correct installation path - ------------------------------------------ - - By default, the configure script will install the library in - "/usr/local". However, many Unix distributions now install the - library in "/usr", since FreeType is becoming a critical system - component. - - If FreeType is already installed on your system, type - - freetype-config --prefix - - on the command line. This should return the installation path - (e.g., "/usr" or "/usr/local"). To avoid problems of parallel - FreeType versions, use this path for the --prefix option of the - configure script. - - Otherwise, simply use "/usr" (or whatever you think is adequate for - your installation). - - - 3. Ensure that you are using GNU Make - ------------------------------------- - - The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make (as an - exception you can use make++ which emulates GNU Make sufficiently; - see http://makepp.sourceforge.net). You will not be able to compile - the library with the instructions below using any other alternative - (including BSD Make). - - 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. - - - 4. Build and install the library - -------------------------------- - - The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make' - command invokes GNU Make: - - ./configure --prefix=<yourprefix> - make - make install (as root) - - where "<yourprefix>" must be replaced by the prefix returned by the - "freetype-config" command. - - 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 --prefix=<yourprefix> - gmake - gmake install (as root) - - - 5. Take care of XFree86 version 4 - --------------------------------- - - Certain recent Linux distributions will install _several_ versions - of FreeType on your system. For example, on a fresh Mandrake 8.1 - system, you can find the following files: - - /usr/lib/libfreetype.so which links to - /usr/lib/libfreetype.6.1.0.so - - and - - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so which links to - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.0.so - - Note that these files correspond to two distinct versions of the - library! It seems that this surprising issue is due to the install - scripts of recent XFree86 servers (from 4.1.0) which install their - own (dated) version of the library in "/usr/X11R6/lib". - - In certain _rare_ cases you may experience minor problems if you - install this release of the library in "/usr" only, namely, that - certain applications will not benefit from the bug fixes and - rendering improvements you would expect. - - There are two good ways to deal with this situation: - - - Install the library _twice_, in "/usr" and in "/usr/X11R6" (you - have to do that each time you install a new FreeType release - though). - - - Change the link in /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so to point to - - /usr/lib/libfreetype.so, - - and get rid of - - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.0.so - - The FreeType Team is not responsible for this problem, so please - contact either the XFree86 development team or your Linux - distributor to help clear this issue in case the information given - here doesn't help. - - ----- end of UPGRADE.UNX --- |
