| Instructions on how to build FreeType with your own build tool |
| ============================================================== |
| |
| See the file `CUSTOMIZE' to learn how to customize FreeType to |
| specific environments. |
| |
| |
| I. Standard procedure |
| --------------------- |
| |
| * If you use macro names for FreeType header files (while mandatory |
| in earlier versions, this is now optional since FreeType version |
| 2.6.1) it is necessary to disable pre-compiled headers. This is |
| very important for Visual C++, because lines like |
| |
| #include FT_FREETYPE_H |
| |
| are not correctly supported by this compiler while being ISO C |
| compliant! |
| |
| * You need to add the directory `include' to your include path when |
| compiling the library. |
| |
| * FreeType 2 is made of several components; each of them is located |
| in a subdirectory of `freetype/src'. For example, |
| `freetype/src/truetype/' contains the TrueType font driver. |
| |
| * DO NOT COMPILE ALL C FILES! Rather, compile the following ones. |
| |

| src/psaux/psaux.c -- PostScript Type 1 parsing |
| src/pshinter/pshinter.c -- PS hinting module |
| src/psnames/psnames.c -- PostScript glyph names support |
| |
| |
| Notes: |
| |
| `ftcache.c' needs `ftglyph.c' |
| `ftfstype.c' needs `fttype1.c' |
| `ftglyph.c' needs `ftbitmap.c' |
| `ftstroke.c' needs `ftglyph.c' |
| `ftsynth.c' needs `ftbitmap.c' |
| |
| `cff.c' needs `sfnt.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
| `truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c' |
| `type1.c' needs `psaux.c' `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
| `type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
| `type42.c' needs `truetype.c' |
| |
| Please consult the central `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h' |
| configuration file for details on additional libraries necessary |
| for some optional features. |
| |
| |
| Read the file `CUSTOMIZE' in case you want to compile only a subset |
| of the drivers, renderers, and optional modules; a detailed |
| description of the various base extension is given in the top-level |
| file `modules.cfg'. |
| |
| You are done. In case of problems, see the archives of the FreeType |
| development mailing list. |
| |
| |
| II. Support for flat-directory compilation |
| ------------------------------------------ |
| |
| It is possible to put all FreeType 2 source files into a single |
| directory, with the *exception* of the `include' hierarchy. |
| |
| 1. Copy all files in current directory |
| |
| cp freetype/src/base/*.[hc] . |
| cp freetype/src/raster1/*.[hc] . |
| cp freetype/src/smooth/*.[hc] . |
| etc. |
| |
| 2. Compile sources |
| |
| cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftsystem.c |
| cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftinit.c |
| cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftdebug.c |
| cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftbase.c |
| etc. |
| |
| You don't need to define the FT_FLAT_COMPILATION macro (as this |
| was required in previous releases of FreeType 2). |
