There are  several ways  to build the  FreeType library,  depending on 
your system and the level of  customization you need.  Here is a short 
overview of the documentation available: 
 
 
I. Normal installation and upgrades 
=================================== 
 
  1. Native TrueType Hinting 
 
    Native TrueType hinting is  disabled by default[1].  If you really 
    need it, read the file `TRUETYPE' for information. 
 
 
  2. Unix Systems (as well as Cygwin or MSys on Windows) 
 
    Please read  *both* `UPGRADE.UNX' and `INSTALL.UNX'  to install or 
    upgrade FreeType  2 on  a Unix system.   Note that you  *need* GNU 
    Make for automatic compilation,  since other make tools won't work 
    (this includes BSD Make). 
 
 
  3. On VMS with the `mms' build tool 
   
    See `INSTALL.VMS' for installation instructions on this platform. 
 
 
  4. Other systems using GNU Make 
   
    On non-Unix platforms,  it is possible to build  the library using 
    GNU Make  utility.  Note that  *NO OTHER MAKE TOOL  WILL WORK*[2]! 
    This  methods supports  several  compilers on  Windows, OS/2,  and 
    BeOS, including MinGW, Visual C++, Borland C++, and more. 
 
    Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU'. 
 
 
  5. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior) 
   
    We provide a  small number of `project files'  for various IDEs to 
    automatically build  the library as  well.  Note that  these files 
    are  not supported  and only  sporadically maintained  by FreeType 
    developers, so don't expect them to work in each release. 
     
    To find them, have a  look at the content of the `builds/' 
    directory, where  stands for your OS or environment. 
 
 
  6. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles 
   
    If  you  want  to  create   your  own  project  file,  follow  the 
    instructions   given  in  the   `INSTALL.ANY'  document   of  this 
    directory. 
 
 
II. Custom builds of the library 
================================ 
 
  Customizing the compilation  of FreeType is easy, and  allows you to 
  select only the components of  the font engine that you really need. 
  For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE'.

[2] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU 
    make extensions to build FreeType.  See 
 
      http://makepp.sourceforge.net 
 
    for more information; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must 
    pass option `--norc-substitution'.
