Implement new, simplified module selection. With GNU make it is now sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the inclusion of modules and base extension files. This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on `modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary. Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the default location. * modules.cfg: New file. * builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'.

There are several ways to build the FreeType library, depending on
your system and the level of customization you need. Here is a short
overview of the documentation available:
2000-10-31 21:42:18 +01:00
2002-01-09 22:01:18 +01:00
2021-04-11 05:32:20 +02:00
I. Prerequisites and dependencies
=================================
2021-04-11 05:32:20 +02:00
FreeType is a low level C library that only depends on the standard
C library with very few platform-dependent optimizations utilized at
build time. Any C89-compliant compiler should be able to compile
FreeType. System libraries, such as zlib, Gzip, bzip2, Brotli,
2021-04-11 05:32:20 +02:00
and libpng, might be used to handle compressed fonts or decode
embedded PNG glyphs.
2021-04-11 05:32:20 +02:00
FreeType auto-configuration scripts should be able to detect the
prerequisites if the necessary headers are available at the default
locations. Otherwise, modify `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
to control how the FreeType library gets built. Normally, you don't
need to change anything.
Applications have very limited control over FreeType's behaviour at
run-time; look at the documentation of function `FT_Property_Set'.
II. Normal installation and upgrades
====================================
1. Unix and Unix-like systems
This also includes MacOS, Cygwin, MinGW + MSYS, Mingw-w64 + MSYS2,
and possibly other, similar environments.
2002-01-09 22:01:18 +01:00
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).
2002-01-09 22:01:18 +01:00
GNU Make VERSION 3.81 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
2008-08-05 20:36:15 +02:00
2017-01-13 10:33:09 +01:00
2. Other systems using GNU Make
On some non-Unix platforms, it is possible to build the library
using only the 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* (without MSYS*), Visual
C++, Borland C++, and more.
Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
2000-12-14 23:57:17 +01:00
3. Other build tools and platforms.
A few other tools can be used to build FreeType. You can find
the corresponding instruction files in the FreeType root folder
or the builds/ sub-folder.
CMake :: see CMakeLists.txt for more information
Meson :: see meson.build for more information
MSBuild :: see builds/windows/vc2010/freetype.vcxproj
MMS :: see vms_make.com and docs/INSTALL.VMS

We provide a small number of `project files' for various IDEs to
automatically build the library as well. Note that these files
are not actively supported by FreeType developers, they can break
or become obsolete.

[1] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
make extensions to build FreeType. See

for more information; you need version 2.0 or newer, and you must
pass option `--norc-substitution'.

Implement new, simplified module selection. With GNU make it is now sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the inclusion of modules and base extension files. This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on `modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary. Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the default location. * modules.cfg: New file. * builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'. Include all `rules.mk' files as specified in `modules.cfg'. (FTOPTION_FLAG, FTOPTION_H): New variables. (FT_CFLAGS): Add macro definition for FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H. Add FTOPTION_FLAG. ($(FT_INIT_OBJ)): Don't use FT_MODULE_LIST. (CONFIG_H): Add FTMODULE_H and FTOPTION_H. (INCLUDES): Add DEVEL_DIR. (INCLUDE_FLAGS, FTSYS_SRC, FTSYS_OBJ, FTDEBUG_SRC, FTDEBUG_OBJ, OBJ_M, OBJ_S): Use `:=', not `='. (remove_ftmodule_h): New phony target to delete `ftmodule.h'. (distclean): Add remove_ftmodule_h. * builds/modules.mk: (MODULE_LIST): Removed. (make_module_list, clean_module_list): Replace targets with... (FTMODULE_H_INIT, FTMODULE_H_CREATE, FTMODULE_H_DONE): New variables. Reason for the change is that it is not possible to have a phony prerequisite which is run only if the target file must be rebuilt (phony prerequisites act like subroutines and are *always* executed). We only want to rebuild `ftmodule.h' if `module.cfg' is changed. Update all callers. ($FTMODULE_H)): Rule to create `ftmodule.h', depending on `modules.cfg'. * builds/toplevel.mk: Rewrite and simplify module handling. (MODULES_CFG, FTMODULE_H): New variables. Include MODULES_CFG.
