Here is a short -overview of the documentation available: - - -I. Normal installation and upgrades -=================================== - - 1. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows) - - Please read `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or upgrade FreeType 2 on a - Unix system. Note that you *need* GNU Make for automatic - compilation, since other make tools won't work (this includes BSD - Make). - - GNU Make VERSION 3.80 OR NEWER IS NEEDED! - - [For `cmake' see below.] - - - 2. On VMS with the `mms' build tool - - See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform. - - - 3. 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*[1]! - 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'. - - - 4. 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 only 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. - - - 5. Using cmake - - See the top-level `CMakeLists.txt' file for more information. - - - 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] 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'. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Copyright 2000-2017 by -David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. - -This file is part of the FreeType project, and may only be used, -modified, and distributed under the terms of the FreeType project -license, LICENSE.TXT.
