Instructions on how to build FreeType with your own build tool
|
|
==============================================================
|
|
|
|
See the file `CUSTOMIZE' to learn how to customize FreeType to
|
|
specific environments.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I. Standard procedure
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
* If you use macro names for FreeType header files (while mandatory
|
|
in earlier versions, this is now optional since FreeType version
|
|
2.6.1) it is necessary to disable pre-compiled headers. This is
|
|
very important for Visual C++, because lines like
|
|
|
|
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
|
|
|
|
are not correctly supported by this compiler while being ISO C
|
|
compliant!
|
|
|
|
* You need to add the directory `include' to your include path when
|
|
compiling the library.
|
|
|
|
* FreeType 2 is made of several components; each of them is located
|
|
in a subdirectory of `freetype/src'. For example,
|
|
`freetype/src/truetype/' contains the TrueType font driver.
|
|
|
|
* DO NOT COMPILE ALL C FILES! Rather, compile the following ones.

Notes:
|
|
|
|
`ftcache.c' needs `ftglyph.c'
|
|
`ftfstype.c' needs `fttype1.c'
|
|
`ftglyph.c' needs `ftbitmap.c'
|
|
`ftstroke.c' needs `ftglyph.c'
|
|
`ftsynth.c' needs `ftbitmap.c'
|
|
|
|
`cff.c' needs `sfnt.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
|
|
`truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c'
|
|
`type1.c' needs `psaux.c' `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
|
|
`type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c'
|
|
`type42.c' needs `truetype.c'
|
|
|
|
Please consult the central `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
|
|
configuration file for details on additional libraries necessary
|
|
for some optional features.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Read the file `CUSTOMIZE' in case you want to compile only a subset
|
|
of the drivers, renderers, and optional modules; a detailed
|
|
description of the various base extension is given in the top-level
|
|
file `modules.cfg'.
|
|
|
|
You are done. In case of problems, see the archives of the FreeType
|
|
development mailing list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. Support for flat-directory compilation
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
It is possible to put all FreeType 2 source files into a single
|
|
directory, with the *exception* of the `include' hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
1. Copy all files in current directory
|
|
|
|
cp freetype/src/base/*.[hc] .
|
|
cp freetype/src/raster/*.[hc] .
|
|
cp freetype/src/smooth/*.[hc] .
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
2. Compile sources
|
|
|
|
cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftsystem.c
|
|
cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftinit.c
|
|
cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftdebug.c
|
|
cc -c -Iinclude -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftbase.c
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to define the FT_FLAT_COMPILATION macro (as this
|
|
was required in previous releases of FreeType 2).
