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 47 48 49Any problems can be reported to 50 51 Jouk Jansen <joukj@hrem.nano.tudelft.nl> or 52 53Orginal version of the build procedures was created by 54 55 Martin P.J.
