How to build the FreeType 2 library on VMS ----------------------------------------- It is actually very straightforward to install the FreeType 2 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= Options to pass to the link command e.g. lopts=/traceback ccopt= 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 2 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 2 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 2 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] then define the logical with define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype] This version has been tested with Compaq C V6.2-006 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1.
