In order to build the library, read the `BUILD' document in the `docs'
directory. This is only a quick starter.
I. From the command line
------------------------
There are two ways to quickly build FreeType 2 from the command
line.
The first, and favorite one, is to use the "Jam" build tool. Jam is
a highly portable replacement for Make whose control files do not
depend on the current platform or compiler toolset.
For more information, please see:
http://www.freetype.org/jam/index.html
The second one is to use "GNU Make" (and NO OTHER MAKE TOOL).
1. Building FT2 with "Jam"
--------------------------
Once you've got *our version* of the Jam tool installed on your
system, simply go to the top-level FT2 directory, then type
"jam"
on the command line. This will build the library and place it in
the "objs" directory.
By default, a static library is built. On Unix systems, it is
possible to build a shared library through the "libtool" script.
You need to have libtool installed on your system, then re-define
a few environment variables before invoking Jam, as in
export CC="libtool --mode=compile"
export LINK="libtool --mode=link"
jam
In later releases of FT2, building shared libraries with Jam
should become automatic.
2. Building FT2 with "GNU Make"
-------------------------------
You need to have GNU Make (version 3.78.1 or newer) installed on
your system to compile the library from the command line. This will
_NOT_ work with other make tools (including BSD make)!
[Well, this is not really correct. Recently, a perl implementation
of make called `makepp' has appeared which can also build FreeType 2
successfully on Unix platforms. See http://LNC.usc.edu/~holt/makepp
for more details.]
- Go to the `freetype2' directory.
- Unix (any C compiler should work):
- make setup (don't worry, this will invoke a configure script)
- make
- make install
Alternatively, you can pass parameters to the configure script
within the CFG variable, as in:
- make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr"
- make
- make install
- Windows:
We provide a version of GNU Make for Win32 on the FreeType site.
See http://www.freetype.org/download.html for details.
- gcc (Mingw, _not_ CygWin):
- make setup
- make
- Visual C++:
- make setup visualc
- make
- other compilers:
- make setup bcc32 -> Borland C++ 32 bits
- make setup intelc -> Intel C++
- make setup watcom -> Watcom C++
- make setup lcc -> Win32-LCC
II. In your own environment (IDE)
---------------------------------
You need to add the directories "freetype2/include" to your include
path when compiling the library.
FreeType 2 is made of several components; each one of them is
located in a subdirectory of "freetype2/src". For example,
`freetype2/src/truetype/' contains the TrueType font driver.
DO NOT COMPILE ALL C FILES! Rather, compile the following ones:
-- base components (required)
src/base/ftsystem.c
src/base/ftinit.c
src/base/ftdebug.c
src/base/ftbase.c
src/base/ftglyph.c
src/base/ftbbox.c
src/base/ftmm.c
src/base/ftmac.c -- only on the Macintosh
-- other components are optional
src/autohint/autohint.c -- auto hinting module
src/cache/ftcache.c -- cache sub-system (in beta)
src/sfnt/sfnt.c -- SFNT files support
(TrueType & OpenType)
src/cff/cff.c -- CFF/OpenType font driver
src/psnames/psnames.c -- Postscript glyph names support
src/psaux/psaux.c -- Postscript Type 1 parsing
src/truetype/truetype.c -- TrueType font driver
src/type1/type1.c -- Type 1 font driver
src/cid/type1cid.c -- Type 1 CID-keyed font driver
src/winfonts/winfonts.c -- Windows FONT / FNT font driver
Note:
`truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c'
`type1.c' needs `psaux.c' and `psnames.c'
`type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c' and `psnames.c'
`cff.c' needs `sfnt.c', `psaux.c', and `psnames.c'
etc.
For more information, please consult "docs/BUILD".
