1How to build the FreeType library on VMS
2----------------------------------------
3
4It is actually  very straightforward to install  the FreeType library.
5Just execute `vms_make.com  from` the toplevel directory  to build the
6library.  This procedure currently accepts the following options:
7
8* `DEBUG`
9  Build the library with debug information and without optimization.
10
11* `lopts=<value>`
12  Options to pass to the link command, e.g., `lopts=/traceback`.
13
14* `ccopt=<value>`
15  Options to pass to the C compiler, e.g., `ccopt=/float=ieee`.
16
17In case you did download the demos, place them in a separate directory
18sharing the same top level as the directory of FreeType and follow the
19same  instructions as  above  for  the demos  from  there.  The  build
20process relies  on this  to figure  out the  location of  the FreeType
21include files.
22
23
24To rebuild  the  sources it is necessary to  have MMS/MMK installed on
25the system.
26
27The library is available in the directory
28
29  [.LIB]
30
31To compile applications using FreeType  you have to define the logical
32`FREETYPE` pointing to the directory
33
34  [.INCLUDE.FREETYPE]
35
36i.e., if the directory in which  this `INSTALL.VMS` file is located is
37`$disk:[freetype.docs]`, then define the logical with
38
39  define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype]
40
41See  http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#Freetype  for
42the packages FreeType depends on.
43
44The latest versions were tested using
45  - VSI C V7.4-002 and DECWindows V1.7-F on OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L1
46  - VSI C V7.4-001 and DECWindows V1.7-E on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4-2L3
