FreeType's official repository site is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype ,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from which the 'freetype.git' and 'freetype-demos.git' repositories
|
|
|
|
|
|
can be cloned in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the Savannah mirror instead, you have to do a
|
|
|
|
|
|
slightly different incantation because the repository names contain
|
|
|
|
|
|
digit '2' for historical reasons.

The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
|
2005-05-24 15:46:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
UNIXish platforms. To generate them say
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sh autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which in turn depends on the following packages:
|
2005-03-05 18:05:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-09 23:02:13 +02:00
|
|
|
|
automake (1.10.1)
|
|
|
|
|
|
libtool (2.2.4)
|
|
|
|
|
|
autoconf (2.62)
|
2005-03-05 18:05:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2007-01-05 10:03:31 +01:00
|
|
|
|
The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions
|
2021-01-16 07:53:09 +01:00
|
|
|
|
should work too, of course. Note that `autogen.sh` also sets up
|
|
|
|
|
|
proper file permissions for the `configure` and auxiliary scripts.
|
2005-03-05 18:05:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-16 07:53:09 +01:00
|
|
|
|
The `autogen.sh` script now checks the versions of the above three
|
|
|
|
|
|
packages whether they match the numbers above. Otherwise it will
|
|
|
|
|
|
complain and suggest either upgrading or using an environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
to point to a more recent version of the required tool(s).

|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-16 07:53:09 +01:00
|
|
|
|
Note that `aclocal` is provided by the 'automake' package on Linux,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X).

For static builds that don't use platform-specific optimizations, no
|
2005-03-05 18:05:35 +01:00
|
|
|
|
configure script is necessary at all; saying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make setup ansi
|
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-01-16 07:53:09 +01:00
|
|
|
|
should work on all platforms that have GNU `make` (or `makepp`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, a build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from
|
|
|
|
|
|
the git repository.

For using the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro while debugging (see file
|
|
|
|
|
|
`docs/DEBUG` for more information) the following git commands are
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessary to check out the 'dlg' library as a git submodule.
|
2020-08-28 07:58:17 +02:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git submodule init
|
|
|
|
|
|
git submodule update

If you want to contribute to FreeType it is recommended to install the
|
|
|
|
|
|
`git-merge-changelog` program – we use a `ChangeLog` file, which often
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevents simple merging due to conflicts. Most GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
distributions have a package for this program; otherwise you can
|
|
|
|
|
|
install it via the 'gnulib' git repository. Detailed instructions can
|
|
|
|
|
|
be found at the beginning of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/tree/lib/git-merge-changelog.c
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To make it actually work, add to file `.git/config` in the FreeType
|
|
|
|
|
|
git repository (or to your `$HOME/.gitconfig` file) the lines
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[merge "merge-changelog"]
|
|
|
|
|
|
name = GNU-style ChangeLog merge driver
|
|
|
|
|
|
driver = /usr/local/bin/git-merge-changelog %O %A %B
