1.5 +There are several ways to build the FreeType library, depending on
1.6 +your system and the level of customization you need. Here is a short
1.7 +overview of the documentation available:
1.8 +
1.9 +
1.10 +I. Normal installation and upgrades
1.11 +===================================
1.12 +
1.13 + 1. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
1.14 +
1.15 + Please read `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or upgrade FreeType 2 on a
1.16 + Unix system. Note that you *need* GNU Make for automatic
1.17 + compilation, since other make tools won't work (this includes BSD
1.18 + Make).
1.19 +
1.20 + GNU Make VERSION 3.80 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
1.21 +
1.22 +
1.23 + 2. On VMS with the `mms' build tool
1.24 +
1.25 + See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform.
1.26 +
1.27 +
1.28 + 3. Other systems using GNU Make
1.29 +
1.30 + On non-Unix platforms, it is possible to build the library using
1.31 + GNU Make utility. Note that *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL WILL WORK*[1]!
1.32 + This methods supports several compilers on Windows, OS/2, and
1.33 + BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
1.34 +
1.35 + Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
1.36 +
1.37 +
1.38 + 4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
1.39 +
1.40 + We provide a small number of `project files' for various IDEs to
1.41 + automatically build the library as well. Note that these files
1.42 + are not supported and only sporadically maintained by FreeType
1.43 + developers, so don't expect them to work in each release.
1.44 +
1.45 + To find them, have a look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
1.46 + directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
1.47 +
1.48 +
1.49 + 5. Using cmake
1.50 +
1.51 + See the top-level `CMakeLists.txt' file for more information.
1.52 +
1.53 +
1.54 + 6. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
1.55 +
1.56 + If you want to create your own project file, follow the
1.57 + instructions given in the `INSTALL.ANY' document of this
1.58 + directory.
1.59 +
1.60 +
1.61 +II. Custom builds of the library
1.62 +================================
1.63 +
1.64 + Customizing the compilation of FreeType is easy, and allows you to
1.65 + select only the components of the font engine that you really need.
1.66 + For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.
1.67 +
1.68 +
1.69 +----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.70 +
1.71 +[1] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
1.72 + make extensions to build FreeType. See
1.73 +
1.74 + http://makepp.sourceforge.net
1.75 +
1.76 + for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
1.77 + pass option `--norc-substitution'.
