This is beta software. For now, we only provide installation instructions for Unix: 1. Build the library (see below) 2. type "make install" (make uninstall provided too) the library name is "libfreetype.so" (FreeType 1.x uses "libttf.so") In order to build the library, read the "BUILD" document in the "docs" directory. Quick starter: go to "freetype2-beta8", then: Unix (+GNU Make): - make (don't worry, this will invoke a configure script) - make alternatively, you can pass parameters to the configure script with the CFG variable, as in: - make CFG="--prefix=/usr" - make Windows + gcc + GNU Make: - make - make Windows + Visual C++ + GNU Make: - make setup visualc - make Windows + Win32-LCC + GNU Make: - make setup lcc - make etc...
