+This document contains instructions on how to build the FreeType
+library on Unix systems. This also works for emulations like Cygwin
+or MSys on Win32:
+
+
+ 1. Ensure that you are using GNU Make
+ -------------------------------------
+
+ The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make. You
+ will not be able to compile the library with the instructions
+ below using any other alternative (including BSD Make).
+
+ Check that you have GNU make by running the command:
+
+ make -v
+
+ This should dump some text that begins with:
+
+ GNU Make <version number>
+ Copyright (C) <year> Free Software Foundation Inc.
+
+ Note that version 3.80 or higher is *required* or the build will
+ fail.
+
+ It is also fine to have GNU Make under another name (e.g. 'gmake')
+ if you use the MAKE variable as described below.
+
+ As a special exception, 'makepp' can also be used to build
+ FreeType 2. See the file docs/MAKEPP for details.
+
+
+ 2. Regenerate the configure script if needed
+ --------------------------------------------
+
+ This only applies if you are building a git snapshot or checkout,
+ *not* if you grabbed the sources of an official release.
+
+ You need to invoke the `autogen.sh' script in the top-level
+ directory in order to create the `configure' script for your
+ platform. Normally, this simply means typing:
+
+ sh autogen.sh
+
+ In case of problems, you may need to install or upgrade Automake,
+ Autoconf or Libtool. See README.git in the top-level directory
+ for more information.
+
+
+ 3. Build and install the library
+ --------------------------------
+
+ The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make'
+ command invokes GNU Make:
+
+ ./configure [options]
+ make
+ make install (as root)
+
+ The default installation path is `/usr/local'. It can be changed
+ with the `--prefix=<path>' option. Example:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr
+
+ When using a different command to invoke GNU Make, use the MAKE
+ variable. For example, if `gmake' is the command to use on your
+ system, do something like:
+
+ MAKE=gmake ./configure [options]
+ gmake
+ gmake install (as root)
+
+ If this still doesn't work, there must be a problem with your
+ system (e.g., you are using a very old version of GNU Make).
+
+ It is possible to compile FreeType in a different directory.
+ Assuming the FreeType source files in directory `/src/freetype' a
+ compilation in directory `foo' works as follows:
+
+ cd foo
+ /src/freetype/configure [options]
+ make
+ make install
+
+
+ 3.1 Interdependency with HarfBuzz
+ .................................
+
+ Note that there is a chicken-and-egg problem currently since the
+ HarfBuzz library (used by the auto-hinter to improve support of
+ OpenType fonts) depends on FreeType, which can be solved as
+ follows in case HarfBuzz is not yet installed on your system.
+
+ 1. Call FreeType's `configure' script with option
+ `--without-harfbuzz', then compile and install FreeType.
+
+ 2. Compile and install HarfBuzz.
+
+ 3. Call FreeType's `configure' script without option
+ `--without-harfbuzz' (after executing `make distclean'), then
+ compile and install FreeType again.
