As a special service "SfR Fresh" has tried to format the requested source page into HTML format using source code syntax highlighting with prefixed line numbers. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file. That can be also achieved for any archive member file by clicking within an archive contents listing on the first character of the file(path) respectively on the according byte size field.

    2 There are  several ways  to build the  FreeType library,  depending on
    3 your system and the level of  customization you need.  Here is a short
    4 overview of the documentation available:
    5 
    6 
    7 I. Normal installation and upgrades
    8 ===================================
    9 
   10   1. Native TrueType Hinting
   11 
   12     Native TrueType hinting is  disabled by default[1].  If you really
   13     need it, read the file `TRUETYPE' for information.
   14 
   15 
   16   2. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
   17 
   18     Please read *both* `UPGRADE.UNIX' and `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or
   19     upgrade FreeType  2 on  a Unix system.   Note that you  *need* GNU
   20     Make for automatic compilation,  since other make tools won't work
   21     (this includes BSD Make).
   22 
   23 
   24   3. On VMS with the `mms' build tool
   25 
   26     See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform.
   27 
   28 
   29   4. Other systems using GNU Make
   30 
   31     On non-Unix platforms,  it is possible to build  the library using
   32     GNU Make  utility.  Note that  *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL  WILL WORK*[2]!
   33     This  methods supports  several  compilers on  Windows, OS/2,  and
   34     BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
   35 
   36     Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
   37 
   38 
   39   5. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
   40 
   41     We provide a  small number of `project files'  for various IDEs to
   42     automatically build  the library as  well.  Note that  these files
   43     are  not supported  and only  sporadically maintained  by FreeType
   44     developers, so don't expect them to work in each release.
   45 
   46     To find them, have a  look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
   47     directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
   48 
   49 
   50   6. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
   51 
   52     If  you  want  to  create   your  own  project  file,  follow  the
   53     instructions   given  in  the   `INSTALL.ANY'  document   of  this
   54     directory.
   55 
   56 
   57 II. Custom builds of the library
   58 ================================
   59 
   60   Customizing the compilation  of FreeType is easy, and  allows you to
   61   select only the components of  the font engine that you really need.
   62   For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.

   66 
   67 [1] More details on:  http://www.freetype.org/patents.html
   68 
   69 [2] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
   70     make extensions to build FreeType.  See
   71 
   72       http://makepp.sourceforge.net
   73 
   74     for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
   75     pass option `--norc-substitution'.
