  1. This  document contains  instructions  on how  to  build the  FreeType
  2. library on Unix  systems.  This also works for  emulations like Cygwin
  3. or MSys on Win32:
  4.  
  5.  
  6.   1. Ensure that you are using GNU Make
  7.   -------------------------------------
  8.  
  9.     The FreeType build system  _exclusively_ works with GNU Make.  You
  10.     will  not be  able to  compile the  library with  the instructions
  11.     below using any other alternative (including BSD Make).
  12.  
  13.     Check that you have GNU make by running the command:
  14.  
  15.        make -v
  16.  
  17.     This should dump some text that begins with:
  18.  
  19.        GNU Make  <version number>
  20.        Copyright (C) <year> Free Software Foundation Inc.
  21.  
  22.     Note that version  3.80 or higher is *required* or the  build will
  23.     fail.
  24.  
  25.     It is also fine to have GNU Make under another name (e.g. 'gmake')
  26.     if you use the MAKE variable as described below.
  27.  
  28.     As  a  special exception,  'makepp'  can  also  be used  to  build
  29.     FreeType 2.  See the file docs/MAKEPP for details.
  30.  
  31.  
  32.   2. Regenerate the configure script if needed
  33.   --------------------------------------------
  34.  
  35.     This only applies if you  are building a git snapshot or checkout,
  36.     *not* if you grabbed the sources of an official release.
  37.  
  38.     You  need  to invoke  the  `autogen.sh'  script  in the  top-level
  39.     directory  in order  to  create the  `configure'  script for  your
  40.     platform.  Normally, this simply means typing:
  41.  
  42.       sh autogen.sh
  43.  
  44.     In case of problems, you  may need to install or upgrade Automake,
  45.     Autoconf or  Libtool.  See  README.git in the  top-level directory
  46.     for more information.
  47.  
  48.  
  49.   3. Build and install the library
  50.   --------------------------------
  51.  
  52.     The following  should work  on all Unix  systems where  the `make'
  53.     command invokes GNU Make:
  54.  
  55.       ./configure [options]
  56.       make
  57.       make install           (as root)
  58.  
  59.     The default installation path  is `/usr/local'.  It can be changed
  60.     with the `--prefix=<path>' option.  Example:
  61.  
  62.       ./configure --prefix=/usr
  63.  
  64.     When using  a different command  to invoke GNU Make,  use the MAKE
  65.     variable.  For example,  if `gmake' is the command  to use on your
  66.     system, do something like:
  67.  
  68.        MAKE=gmake ./configure [options]
  69.        gmake
  70.        gmake install            (as root)
  71.  
  72.     If  this still doesn't  work, there  must be  a problem  with your
  73.     system (e.g., you are using a very old version of GNU Make).
  74.  
  75.     It  is possible  to  compile FreeType  in  a different  directory.
  76.     Assuming the FreeType source  files in directory `/src/freetype' a
  77.     compilation in directory `foo' works as follows:
  78.  
  79.       cd foo
  80.       /src/freetype/configure [options]
  81.       make
  82.       make install
  83.
