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:

  You need to have GNU Make installed on your system to compile the
  library from the command line. This will _not_ work with other
  Make tools (including the BSD ones !!)
  
  - Go to the 'freetype2' directory

  - on 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
    with the CFG variable, as in:

     - make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr"
     - make
     - make install

  - On Windows:

    we provide a version of GNU Make for Win32 on the FreeType site.
    See http://www.freetype.org/download.html for details..

    o if you're using gcc:

       - make setup
       - make

    o if you're using Visual C++:
    
       - make setup visualc
       - make
       
    o if you're using Win32-lCC:
    
       - make setup lcc
       - make
       
    o if you're using the Borland C++ Builder compiler:
    
       - make setup bcc32
       - make


II. In your own environment (IDE):

  you need to add the directories "freetype2/include" and "freetype2/src"
  to your include path when compiling the library.
  
  compile each library component through the following files:
  
     -- 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 that:
     
         '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.
