-This document contains instructions on how to cross-build the FreeType
-library on Unix systems, for example, building binaries for Linux/MIPS
-on FreeBSD/i386. 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.
