How to build the FreeType library on VMS

It is actually very straightforward to install the FreeType library. Just execute vms_make.com from the toplevel directory to build the library. This procedure currently accepts the following options:

  • DEBUG Build the library with debug information and without optimization.

  • lopts=<value> Options to pass to the link command, e.g., lopts=/traceback.

  • ccopt=<value> Options to pass to the C compiler, e.g., ccopt=/float=ieee.

In case you did download the demos, place them in a separate directory sharing the same top level as the directory of FreeType and follow the same instructions as above for the demos from there. The build process relies on this to figure out the location of the FreeType include files.

To rebuild the sources it is necessary to have MMS/MMK installed on the system.

The library is available in the directory

  [.LIB]

To compile applications using FreeType you have to define the logical FREETYPE pointing to the directory

  [.INCLUDE.FREETYPE]

i.e., if the directory in which this INSTALL.VMS file is located is $disk:[freetype.docs], then define the logical with

  define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype]

See http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#Freetype for the packages FreeType depends on.
