repository issues
-----------------
FreeType's official repository site is
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype ,
from which the 'freetype.git' and 'freetype-demos.git' repositories
can be cloned in the usual way.
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
If you want to use the Savannah mirror instead, you have to do a
slightly different incantation because the repository names contain
digit '2' for historical reasons.
git clone \
https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2.git \
freetype
git clone \
https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2-demos.git \
freetype-demos
standard builds with `configure`
--------------------------------
The git repository 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 checks whether the versions of the above three
tools match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and suggest
either upgrading or using environment variables to point to more
recent versions of the required tools.
Note that `aclocal` is provided by the 'automake' package on Linux,
and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X).
alternative build methods
-------------------------
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`).
A build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from the git
repository. However, if you want to use the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro
(see file `docs/DEBUG` for more information) it is currently mandatory
to execute `autogen.sh` in advance; this script clones the 'dlg' git
submodule and copies some files into FreeType's source tree.
