8 I. Standard procedure |
|
9 --------------------- |
|
10 |
|
11 * DISABLE PRE-COMPILED HEADERS! This is very important for Visual |
|
12 C++, because FreeType uses lines like: |
|
13 |
|
14 #include FT_FREETYPE_H |
|
15 |
|
16 which are not correctly supported by this compiler while being ISO |
|
17 C compliant! |
|
18 |
|
19 * You need to add the directories `freetype2/include' to your |
|
20 include path when compiling the library. |
|
21 |
|
22 * FreeType 2 is made of several components; each of them is located |
|
23 in a subdirectory of `freetype2/src'. For example, |
|
24 `freetype2/src/truetype/' contains the TrueType font driver. |
|
25 |
|
26 * DO NOT COMPILE ALL C FILES! Rather, compile the following ones. |
|

|
92 Notes: |
|
93 |
|
94 `ftcache.c' needs `ftglyph.c' |
|
95 `ftfstype.c' needs `fttype1.c' |
|
96 `ftglyph.c' needs `ftbitmap.c' |
|
97 `ftstroke.c' needs `ftglyph.c' |
|
98 `ftsynth.c' needs `ftbitmap.c' |
|
99 |
|
100 `cff.c' needs `sfnt.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
|
101 `truetype.c' needs `sfnt.c' and `psnames.c' |
|
102 `type1.c' needs `psaux.c' `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
|
103 `type1cid.c' needs `psaux.c', `pshinter.c', and `psnames.c' |
|
104 `type42.c' needs `truetype.c' |
|
105 |
|
106 To use `ftbzip2.c', an application must be linked with a library |
|
107 which implements bzip2 support (and the bzip2 header files must |
|
108 be available also during compilation). |
|
109 |
|
110 |
|
111 Read the file `CUSTOMIZE' in case you want to compile only a subset |
|
112 of the drivers, renderers, and optional modules; a detailed |
|
113 description of the various base extension is given in the top-level |
|
114 file `modules.cfg'. |
|
115 |
|
116 You are done. In case of problems, see the archives of the FreeType |
|
117 development mailing list. |
|
118 |
|
119 |
|
120 II. Support for flat-directory compilation |
|
121 ------------------------------------------ |
|
122 |
|
123 It is possible to put all FreeType 2 source files into a single |
|
124 directory, with the *exception* of the `include' hierarchy. |
|
125 |
|
126 1. Copy all files in current directory |
|
127 |
|
128 cp freetype2/src/base/*.[hc] . |
|
129 cp freetype2/src/raster1/*.[hc] . |
|
130 cp freetype2/src/smooth/*.[hc] . |
|
131 etc. |
|
132 |
|
133 2. Compile sources |
|
134 |
|
135 cc -c -Ifreetype2/include -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftsystem.c |
|
136 cc -c -Ifreetype2/include -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftinit.c |
|
137 cc -c -Ifreetype2/include -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftdebug.c |
|
138 cc -c -Ifreetype2/include -DFT2_BUILD_LIBRARY ftbase.c |
|
139 etc. |
|
140 |
|
141 You don't need to define the FT_FLAT_COMPILATION macro (as this |
|
142 was required in previous releases of FreeType 2). |
|
