Note that you have to actually clone +the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't +use gitlab's 'Download' button). + +The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`; +use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that +currently the search function for locally installed documentation +doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.] + +Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our +sites.

To generate them say + + sh autogen.sh + +which in turn depends on the following packages: + + automake (1.10.1) + libtool (2.2.4) + autoconf (2.62) + +The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions +should work too, of course. Note that `autogen.sh` also sets up +proper file permissions for the `configure` and auxiliary scripts. + +The `autogen.sh` script checks whether the versions of the above three +tools match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and suggest +either upgrading or using environment variables to point to more +recent versions of the required tools. + +Note that `aclocal` is provided by the 'automake' package on Linux, +and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X). + + +alternative build methods +------------------------- + +For static builds that don't use platform-specific optimizations, no +configure script is necessary at all; saying + + make setup ansi + make + +should work on all platforms that have GNU `make` (or `makepp`). + +A build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from the git +repository. However, if you want to use the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro +(see file `docs/DEBUG` for more information) it is currently mandatory +to execute `autogen.sh` in advance; this script clones the 'dlg' git +submodule and copies some files into FreeType's source tree. + + +Code of Conduct +--------------- + +Please note that this project is released with a Contributor Code of +Conduct (CoC).
