| ---------- |
| |
| The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for |
| UNIXish platforms. To generate them say |
| |
| sh autogen.sh |
| |
| which in turn depends on the following packages: |
| |
| automake (1.10.1) |
| libtool (2.2.4) |
| autoconf (2.62) |
| |
| The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions |
| should work too, of course. Note that `autogen.sh` also sets up |
| proper file permissions for the `configure` and auxiliary scripts. |
| |
| 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). |
| |
| 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 |
| configure script is necessary at all; saying |
| |
| make setup ansi |
| make |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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 |
