Before reading this document, please consult +INSTALL.UNIX for required tools and the basic self-building procedure. + + + 1. Required Tools + ----------------- + + For self-building the FreeType library on a Unix system, GNU Make + 3.80 or newer is required. INSTALL.UNIX contains hints how to + check the installed `make'. + + The GNU C compiler to cross-build the target system is required. + At present, using non-GNU cross compiler is not tested. The cross + compiler is expected to be installed with a system prefix. For + example, if your building system is FreeBSD/i386 and the target + system is Linux/MIPS, the cross compiler should be installed with + the name `mips-ip22-linuxelf-gcc'. + + A C compiler for a self-build is required also, to build a tool + that is executed during the building procedure. Non-GNU self + compilers are acceptable, but such a setup is not tested yet. + + + 2. Configuration + ---------------- + + 2.1. Building and target system + + To configure for cross-build, the options `--host=<system>' and + `--build=<system>' must be passed to configure. For example, if + your building system is FreeBSD/i386 and the target system is + Linux/MIPS, say + + ./configure \ + --build=i386-unknown-freebsd \ + --host=mips-ip22-linuxelf \ + [other options] + + It should be noted that `--host=<system>' specifies the system + where the built binaries will be executed, not the system where + the build actually happens. Older versions of GNU autoconf use + the option pair `--host=' and `--target='. This is broken and + doesn't work. Similarly, an explicit CC specification like + + env CC=mips-ip22-linux-gcc ./configure + + or + + env CC=/usr/local/mips-ip22-linux/bin/gcc ./configure + + doesn't work either; such a configuration confuses the + `configure' script while trying to find the cross and native C + compilers. + + + 2.2. The prefix to install FreeType2 + + Setting `--prefix=<prefix>' properly is important. The prefix + to install FreeType2 is written into the freetype-config script + and freetype2.pc configuration file. + + If the built FreeType 2 library is used as a part of the + cross-building system, the prefix is expected to be different + from the self-building system. For example, configuration with + `--prefix=/usr/local' installs binaries into the system wide + `/usr/local' directory which then can't be executed. This + causes confusion in configuration of all applications which use + FreeType2. Instead, use a prefix to install the cross-build + into a separate system tree, for example, + `--prefix=/usr/local/mips-ip22-linux/'. + + On the other hand, if the built FreeType2 is used as a part of + the target system, the prefix to install should reflect the file + system structure of the target system. + + + 3. Building command + ------------------- + + If the configuration finishes successfully, invoking GNU make + builds FreeType2. Just say + + make + + or + + gmake + + depending on the name the GNU make binary actually has. + + + 4. Installation + --------------- + + Saying + + make install + + as usual to install FreeType2 into the directory tree specified by + the argument of the `--prefix' option. + + As noted in section 2.2, FreeType2 is sometimes configured to be + installed into the system directory of the target system, and + should not be installed in the cross-building system. In such + cases, the make variable `DESTDIR' is useful to change the root + directory in the installation. For example, after + + make DESTDIR=/mnt/target_system_root/ install + + the built FreeType2 library files are installed into the directory + `/mnt/target_system_root/<prefix_in_configure>/lib'. + + + 5. TODO + ------- + + Cross building between Cygwin (or MSys) and Unix must be tested. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Copyright 2006, 2008 by suzuki toshiya +David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. + + +This file is part of the FreeType project, and may only be used, +modified, and distributed under the terms of the FreeType project +license, LICENSE.TXT.
