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/ftdebug.c src/base/ftbase.c src/base/ftbbox.c -- recommended, see <ftbbox.h> src/base/ftglyph.c -- recommended, see <ftglyph.h> src/base/ftbdf.c -- optional, see <ftbdf.h> src/base/ftbitmap.c -- optional, see <ftbitmap.h> src/base/ftcid.c -- optional, see <ftcid.h> src/base/ftfstype.c -- optional src/base/ftgasp.c -- optional, see <ftgasp.h> src/base/ftgxval.c -- optional, see <ftgxval.h> src/base/ftmm.c -- optional, see <ftmm.h> src/base/ftotval.c -- optional, see <ftotval.h> src/base/ftpatent.c -- optional src/base/ftpfr.c -- optional, see <ftpfr.h> src/base/ftstroke.c -- optional, see <ftstroke.h> src/base/ftsynth.c -- optional, see <ftsynth.h> src/base/fttype1.c -- optional, see <t1tables.h> src/base/ftwinfnt.c -- optional, see <ftwinfnt.h> 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/smooth/smooth.c -- anti-aliasing rasterizer src/raster/raster.c -- monochrome rasterizer src/sdf/sdf.c -- Signed Distance Field driver -- 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/raster/*.[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). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 2003-2024 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
