a/ Install GNU Make:

step e.
|

|

d. 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 e.
|
||||
|
||||
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'.
|
||||
|
||||
e. 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.
|
||||
|
||||
f. Build the demonstration programs
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
d/ Configure the build system for an unknown platform/compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
What the auto-detection/setup phase of the build system does is simply
|
||||
copy 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, simply copy
|
||||
manually the configuration sub-makefile to "./config.mk" and go to
|
||||
step e/.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that this file is a sub-Makefile used to specify Make variables
|
||||
used to invoke the compiler and linker 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".
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
e/ 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..
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
f/ Build the demonstration programs:
|
||||
|
||||
Once the library is compiled, go to "demos", then invoke GNU Make.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the demonstration programs include a tiny graphics sub-system
|
||||
that includes "drivers" to display Windows on Win32, X11 and OS/2. The
|
||||
build system should automatically detect which driver to use based on
|
||||
the current platform.
|
||||
|
||||
UNIX USERS TAKE NOTE: XXXXXX
|
||||
|
||||
When building the demos, the build system tries to detect your X11 path
|
||||
by looking for the patterns "X11R5/bin", "X11R6/bin" or "X11/bin" in
|
||||
your current path. If no X11 path is found, the demo programs will not
|
||||
be able to display graphics and will fail. Change your current path
|
||||
if you encounter this problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the release version will use Autoconf to detect everything
|
||||
on Unix, so this will not be necessary !!

If you don't want to compile FreeType 2 from the command-line (for example

FreeType 2 has a very modular design, and it is made of several components.

Each component must be compiled as a stand-alone object file, even when it
|
||||
is really made of several C source files. For example, the "base layer"
|
||||
component is made of the following C files:

ftoutln.c - simple outline processing
|

ftstream.c - stream input

However, you can create a single object file by compiling the file
|

"src/base/ftbase.c", whose content is basically:

The last module of FreeType 2, winfonts (implementing support for

Windows FNT format), is a single file.
|

|

To compile one component, do the following:
|
||||
|
||||
- add the top-level "include" directory to your compilation include path
|
||||
- Add the top-level `include' directory to your compilation
|

|
||||
- add the "src" directory to your compilation include path.

- Add the `src' directory to your compilation include path.
