- 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.
-
- -- base components (required)
-
- src/base/ftsystem.c
- src/base/ftinit.c

-
- src/base/ftmac.c -- only on the Macintosh
-
- -- font drivers (optional; at least one is needed)
-
- src/bdf/bdf.c -- BDF font driver
- src/cff/cff.c -- CFF/OpenType font driver
- src/cid/type1cid.c -- Type 1 CID-keyed font driver
- src/pcf/pcf.c -- PCF font driver
- src/pfr/pfr.c -- PFR/TrueDoc font driver
- src/sfnt/sfnt.c -- SFNT files support
- (TrueType & OpenType)
- src/truetype/truetype.c -- TrueType font driver
- src/type1/type1.c -- Type 1 font driver
- src/type42/type42.c -- Type 42 font driver
- src/winfonts/winfnt.c -- Windows FONT / FNT font driver
-
- -- rasterizers (optional; at least one is needed for vector
- formats)
-
- src/raster/raster.c -- monochrome rasterizer
- src/sdf/sdf.c -- Signed Distance Field driver
- src/smooth/smooth.c -- anti-aliasing rasterizer
-
- -- auxiliary modules (optional)
-
- src/autofit/autofit.c -- auto hinting module
- src/cache/ftcache.c -- cache sub-system (in beta)
- src/gzip/ftgzip.c -- support for compressed fonts (.gz)
- src/lzw/ftlzw.c -- support for compressed fonts (.Z)
- src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c -- support for compressed fonts (.bz2)
- src/gxvalid/gxvalid.c -- TrueTypeGX/AAT table validation
- src/otvalid/otvalid.c -- OpenType table validation
- src/psaux/psaux.c -- PostScript Type 1 parsing
- src/pshinter/pshinter.c -- PS hinting module
- src/psnames/psnames.c -- PostScript glyph names support
-
-
- 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/raster1/*.[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).
