+Fontconfig is built with the traditional configure script:
+
+ $ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
+
+This should generate valid Makefiles, then:
+
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+If you're going to package fontconfig for release, there are several
+important steps:
+
+ 1. Create new version
+ sh new-version.sh 2.xx.xx
+
+ 2. rebuild the configuration files with autogen.sh
+ sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var
+
+ 3. make distcheck (NB: won't work without docbook-utils -PL)
+
+ 4. Copy ChangeLog-2.x.y and fontconfig-2.x.y.tar.gz to
+
+ freedesktop.org:/srv/fontconfig.freedesktop.org/www/release
+
+ 5. Update the Fontconfig Devel wiki page
+ http://fontconfig.org/wiki/Devel
+
+ 6. Update the fontconfig documentation
+
+ scp -rp doc/fontconfig-user.html doc/fontconfig-devel fontconfig.org:/srv/fontconfig.freedesktop.org/www
+
+ 7. Compute md5sums for release files:
+ md5sum fontconfig-2.4.x.tar.gz ChangeLog-2.4.x
+
+ 8. Post a note to fontconfig@fontconfig.org. Include the md5sums.
+ gpg sign the message.
