This document contains instructions on how to build the FreeType
|
||
|
library on Unix systems. This also works for emulations like Cygwin
|
||
|
or MSys on Win32:
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Ensure that you are using GNU Make
|
||
|
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make. You
|
||
|
will not be able to compile the library with the instructions
|
||
|
below using any other alternative (including BSD Make).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Check that you have GNU make by running the command:
|
||
|
|
||
|
make -v
|
||
|
|
||
|
This should dump some text that begins with:
|
||
|
|
||
|
GNU Make <version number>
|
||
|
Copyright (C) <year> Free Software Foundation Inc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that version 3.80 or higher is *required* or the build will
|
||
|
fail.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is also fine to have GNU Make under another name (e.g. 'gmake')
|
||
|
if you use the MAKE variable as described below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
As a special exception, 'makepp' can also be used to build
|
||
|
FreeType 2. See the file docs/MAKEPP for details.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. Regenerate the configure script if needed
|
||
|
--------------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
This only applies if you are building a git snapshot or checkout,
|
||
|
*not* if you grabbed the sources of an official release.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You need to invoke the `autogen.sh' script in the top-level
|
||
|
directory in order to create the `configure' script for your
|
||
|
platform. Normally, this simply means typing:
|
||
|
|
||
|
sh autogen.sh
|
||
|
|
||
|
In case of problems, you may need to install or upgrade Automake,
|
||
|
Autoconf or Libtool. See README.git in the top-level directory
|
||
|
for more information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. Build and install the library
|
||
|
--------------------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make'
|
||
|
command invokes GNU Make:
|
||
|
|
||
|
./configure [options]
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make install (as root)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default installation path is `/usr/local'. It can be changed
|
||
|
with the `--prefix=<path>' option. Example:
|
||
|
|
||
|
./configure --prefix=/usr
|
||
|
|
||
|
When using a different command to invoke GNU Make, use the MAKE
|
||
|
variable. For example, if `gmake' is the command to use on your
|
||
|
system, do something like:
|
||
|
|
||
|
MAKE=gmake ./configure [options]
|
||
|
gmake
|
||
|
gmake install (as root)
|
||
|
|
||
|
If this still doesn't work, there must be a problem with your
|
||
|
system (e.g., you are using a very old version of GNU Make).
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is possible to compile FreeType in a different directory.
|
||
|
Assuming the FreeType source files in directory `/src/freetype' a
|
||
|
compilation in directory `foo' works as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
cd foo
|
||
|
/src/freetype/configure [options]
|
||
|
make
|
||
|
make install
|
||
|
|
||
|
