-SPECIAL NOTE FOR UNIX USERS
-===========================
-
- If you are installing this release of FreeType on a system that
- already uses release 2.0.5 (or even an older version), you have to
- perform a few special steps to ensure that everything goes well.
-
-
- 1. 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.
