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=' and - `--build=' 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=' 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=' 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//lib'. - - - 5. TODO - ------- - - Cross building between Cygwin (or MSys) and Unix must be tested. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Copyright 2006, 2008 by suzuki toshiya -David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. - - -This file is part of the FreeType project, and may only be used, -modified, and distributed under the terms of the FreeType project -license, LICENSE.TXT.
