  1.  
  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. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
  11.  
  12.     Please read `INSTALL.UNIX' to install or upgrade FreeType  2 on  a
  13.     Unix system.   Note  that  you  *need*  GNU  Make   for  automatic
  14.     compilation,  since other make tools won't work (this includes BSD
  15.     Make).
  16.  
  17.     GNU Make VERSION 3.80 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
  18.  
  19.  
  20.   2. On VMS with the `mms' build tool
  21.  
  22.     See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform.
  23.  
  24.  
  25.   3. Other systems using GNU Make
  26.  
  27.     On non-Unix platforms,  it is possible to build  the library using
  28.     GNU Make  utility.  Note that  *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL  WILL WORK*[1]!
  29.     This  methods supports  several  compilers on  Windows, OS/2,  and
  30.     BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more.
  31.  
  32.     Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'.
  33.  
  34.  
  35.   4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
  36.  
  37.     We provide a  small number of `project files'  for various IDEs to
  38.     automatically build  the library as  well.  Note that  these files
  39.     are  not supported  and only  sporadically maintained  by FreeType
  40.     developers, so don't expect them to work in each release.
  41.  
  42.     To find them, have a  look at the content of the `builds/<system>'
  43.     directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
  44.  
  45.  
  46.   5. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
  47.  
  48.     If  you  want  to  create   your  own  project  file,  follow  the
  49.     instructions   given  in  the   `INSTALL.ANY'  document   of  this
  50.     directory.
  51.  
  52.  
  53. II. Custom builds of the library
  54. ================================
  55.  
  56.   Customizing the compilation  of FreeType is easy, and  allows you to
  57.   select only the components of  the font engine that you really need.
  58.   For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.
  59.

  61. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  62.  
  63. [1] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
  64.     make extensions to build FreeType.  See
  65.  
  66.       http://makepp.sourceforge.net
  67.  
  68.     for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
  69.     pass option `--norc-substitution'.
