How to build the FreeType 2 library on VMS
-----------------------------------------
It is actually very straightforward to install the FreeType 2 library.
Just execute vms_make.com from the toplevel directory to build the
library. This procedure currently accepts the following options:
DEBUG
Build the library with debug information and without optimization.
lopts=<value>
Options to pass to the link command e.g. lopts=/traceback
ccopt=<value>
Options to pass to the C compiler e.g. ccopt=/float=ieee
In case you did download the demos, place them in a separate directory
sharing the same top level as the directory of FreeType 2 and follow
the same instructions as above for the demos from there. The build
process relies on this to figure out the location of the FreeType 2
include files.
To rebuild the sources it is necessary to have MMS/MMK installed on
the system.
The library is available in the directory
[.LIB]
To compile applications using FreeType 2 you have to define the
logical FREETYPE pointing to the directory
[.INCLUDE.FREETYPE]
i.e., if the directory in which this INSTALL.VMS file is located is
$disk:[freetype] then define the logical with
define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype]
This version has been tested with Compaq C V6.2-006 on OpenVMS Alpha
V7.2-1.
