freetype/INSTALL
David Turner 9b9a5ffb2d - added support for the free command-line Borland C++ compiler
in the "builds" directory

- modified a few files because BCC32 didn't like certain comparisons
  (UInt compared with a UShort, apparently the UShort is promoted to
  an Int)

- updated the INSTALL file to include IDE compilation, prevent against
  BSD Make, and clarify the use of "make setup" (instead of "make")
  for build configuration

In order to build the library, read the `BUILD' document in the `docs'
directory. This is only a quick starter:
I. From the command line:
You need to have GNU Make installed on your system to compile the
library from the command line. This will _not_ work with other
Make tools (including the BSD ones !!)
- Go to the 'freetype2' directory
- on Unix (any C compiler should work):
- make setup (don't worry, this will invoke a configure script)
- make
- make install
alternatively, you can pass parameters to the configure script
with the CFG variable, as in:
- make setup CFG="--prefix=/usr"
- make
- make install
- On Windows:
we provide a version of GNU Make for Win32 on the FreeType site.
See http://www.freetype.org/download.html for details..
o if you're using gcc:
- make setup
- make
o if you're using Visual C++:
- make setup visualc
- make
o if you're using Win32-lCC:
- make setup lcc
- make
o if you're using the Borland C++ Builder compiler:
- make setup bcc32
- make
II. In your own environment (IDE):
you need to add the directories "freetype2/include" and "freetype2/src"
to your include path when compiling the library.
compile each library component through the following files:
-- base components (required)
src/base/ftsystem.c
src/base/ftinit.c
src/base/ftdebug.c
src/base/ftbase.c
src/base/ftglyph.c
src/base/ftbbox.c
src/base/ftmm.c
src/base/ftmac.c -- only on the Macintosh
-- other components are optional
src/autohint/autohint.c -- auto hinting module
src/cache/ftcache.c -- cache sub-system (in beta)
src/sfnt/sfnt.c -- SFNT files support (TrueType & OpenType)
src/cff/cff.c -- CFF/OpenType font driver
src/psnames/psnames.c -- Postscript glyph names support
src/psaux/psaux.c -- Postscript Type 1 parsing
src/truetype/truetype.c -- TrueType font driver
src/type1/type1.c -- Type 1 font driver
src/cid/type1cid.c -- Type 1 CID-keyed font driver
src/winfonts/winfonts.c -- Windows FONT / FNT font driver
note that:
'truetype.c' needs 'sfnt.c' and 'psnames.c'
'type1.c' needs 'psaux.c' and 'psnames.c'
'type1cid.c' needs 'psaux.c' and 'psnames.c'
'cff.c' needs 'sfnt.c', 'psaux.c' and 'psnames.c'
etc.
