<P>One of the problems with The Freetype Project is that it doesn’t come with
|
|||
|
|
any nice workspace and project files for use with MS Visual C++.</P>
|
|||
|
|
<P>So, as I’ve been using Freetype within some of my own software, I’ve had to
|
|||
|
|
create these file for myself, and I herewith provide them back to the open
|
|||
|
|
source community.</P>
|
|||
|
|
<P>The usual rules apply:</P>
|
|||
|
|
<UL type=square>
|
|||
|
|
<LI>These files should be considered to be under the same licence agreement as
|
|||
|
|
The FreeType Project itself.
|
|||
|
|
<LI>Don’t blame me if they don’t work on your system... but please do <A
|
|||
|
|
href="http://www.homepages.lu/somers/bio-contact.htm">contact</A> me and I’ll
|
|||
|
|
try to sort things out.

<H2>How to use the Workspace and Project Files</H2>
|
|||
|
|
<P>These are some quick note that I’ve put together to help you get started. I
|
|||
|
|
hope they make sense ;-)</P>
|
|||
|
|
<P>The project files have been set up in such a manner than no changes are
|
|||
|
|
necessary to either the Freetype2 source code, or any environment or VC settings
|
|||
|
|
for things like include folders, etc... in other words, this is a very clean
|
|||
|
|
implementation.</P>
|
|||
|
|
<P>Note the following:</P>
|
|||
|
|
<UL type=square>
|
|||
|
|
<LI>The workspace and project files should be put in your ‘freetype’
|
|||
|
|
directory.
|
|||
|
|
<LI>It is assumed that the sample applications are in a directory called
|
|||
|
|
‘demos’ in your ‘freetype’ directory. </LI></UL>
|
|||
|
|
<P>When you open up the workspace, and perhaps also the project files within,
|
|||
|
|
you might get some error message to do with Visual Source Safe... do not panic,
|
|||
|
|
and simply ignore these warnings, choose not to use VSS in future, save the
|
|||
|
|
workspace/project files, and all should be well.</P>
|
|||
|
|
<P>The ‘freetype’ project build a <B>static</B> library. There are four build
|
|||
|
|
options, which will result in the following being generated into the ‘lib’
|
|||
|
|
directory in your ‘freetype’ directory):</P>
|
|||
|
|
<UL type=square>
|
|||
|
|
<LI>freetype200b8.lib - release build; single-threaded
|
|||
|
|
<LI>freetype200b8_D.lib - debug build; single-threaded
|
|||
|
|
<LI>freetype200b8MT.lib - release build; multi-threaded
|
|||
|
|
<LI>freetype200b8MT_D.lib - debug build; multi-threaded </LI></UL>
|
|||
|
|
<P>The ‘ftdump’, ‘ftstring’, and ‘ftview’ projects build the respective sample
|
|||
|
|
applications. The binaries are placed into the ‘bin’ directory in the ‘demos’
|
|||
|
|
directory. Note that if you build the debug versions, the filenames have a ‘_D’
|
|||
|
|
suffix.</P><!-- validated -->
