Enable the TrueType bytecode hinter if you need it - ----------------------------------------------------- - - See the instructions in the file `TRUETYPE' of this directory. - - Note that FreeType supports TrueType fonts without the bytecode - interpreter through its auto-hinter, which now generates relatively - good results with most fonts. - - - 2. Determine the correct installation path - ------------------------------------------ - - By default, the configure script installs the library in - `/usr/local'. However, many Unix distributions now install the - library in `/usr', since FreeType is becoming a critical system - component. - - If FreeType is already installed on your system, type - - freetype-config --prefix - - on the command line. This should return the installation path - (e.g., `/usr' or `/usr/local'). To avoid problems of parallel - FreeType versions, use this path for the --prefix option of the - configure script. - - Otherwise, simply use `/usr' (or whatever you think is adequate for - your installation). - - - 3. Ensure that you are using GNU Make - ------------------------------------- - - The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make (as an - exception you can use make++ which emulates GNU Make sufficiently; - see http://makepp.sourceforge.net). You will not be able to compile - the library with the instructions below using any other alternative - (including BSD Make). - - Trying to compile the library with a different Make tool prints a - message like: - - Sorry, GNU make is required to build FreeType2. - - and the build process is aborted. If this happens, install GNU Make - on your system, and use the GNUMAKE environment variable to name it. - - - 4. Build and install the library - -------------------------------- - - The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make' - command invokes GNU Make: - - ./configure --prefix=<yourprefix> - make - make install (as root) - - where `<yourprefix>' must be replaced by the prefix returned by the - `freetype-config' command. - - When using a different command to invoke GNU Make, use the GNUMAKE - variable. For example, if `gmake' is the command to use on your - system, do something like: - - GNUMAKE=gmake ./configure --prefix=<yourprefix> - gmake - gmake install (as root) - - - 5. Take care of XFree86 version 4 - --------------------------------- - - Certain Linux distributions install _several_ versions of FreeType - on your system. For example, on a fresh Mandrake 8.1 system, you - can find the following files: - - /usr/lib/libfreetype.so which links to - /usr/lib/libfreetype.6.1.0.so - - and - - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so which links to - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.0.so - - Note that these files correspond to two distinct versions of the - library! It seems that this surprising issue is due to the install - scripts of recent XFree86 servers (from 4.1.0) which install their - own (dated) version of the library in `/usr/X11R6/lib'. - - In certain _rare_ cases you may experience minor problems if you - install this release of the library in `/usr' only, namely, that - certain applications do not benefit from the bug fixes and rendering - improvements you would expect. - - There are two good ways to deal with this situation: - - - Install the library _twice_, in `/usr' and in `/usr/X11R6' (you - have to do that each time you install a new FreeType release - though). - - - Change the link in /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so to point to - - /usr/lib/libfreetype.so, - - and get rid of - - /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.0.so - - The FreeType Team is not responsible for this problem, so please - contact either the XFree86 development team or your Linux - distributor to help clear this issue in case the information given - here doesn't help. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Copyright 2003, 2005 by -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.
