| How to build the FreeType library on VMS |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| It is actually very straightforward to install the FreeType library. |
| Just execute `vms_make.com from` the toplevel directory to build the |
| library. This procedure currently accepts the following options: |
| |
| * `DEBUG` |
| Build the library with debug information and without optimization. |
| |
| * `lopts=<value>` |
| Options to pass to the link command, e.g., `lopts=/traceback`. |
| |
| * `ccopt=<value>` |
| Options to pass to the C compiler, e.g., `ccopt=/float=ieee`. |
| |
| In case you did download the demos, place them in a separate directory |
| sharing the same top level as the directory of FreeType and follow the |
| same instructions as above for the demos from there. The build |
| process relies on this to figure out the location of the FreeType |
| include files. |
| |
| |
| To rebuild the sources it is necessary to have MMS/MMK installed on |
| the system. |
| |
| The library is available in the directory |
| |
| [.LIB] |
| |
| To compile applications using FreeType you have to define the logical |
| `FREETYPE` pointing to the directory |
| |
| [.INCLUDE.FREETYPE] |
| |
| i.e., if the directory in which this `INSTALL.VMS` file is located is |
| `$disk:[freetype.docs]`, then define the logical with |
| |
| define freetype $disk:[freetype.include.freetype] |
| |
| See http://nchrem.tnw.tudelft.nl/openvms/software2.html#Freetype for |
| the packages FreeType depends on. |
| |
| The latest versions were tested using |
| - VSI C V7.4-002 and DECWindows V1.7-F on OpenVMS Alpha V8.4-2L1 |
| - VSI C V7.4-001 and DECWindows V1.7-E on OpenVMS IA64 V8.4-2L3 |
