|
+If you want to test FreeType on arm devices, compiling it on an Android
|
|
4
|
+phone is one of the easiest ways.
|
|
5
|
+
|
|
6
|
+## 1. Compiling FreeType
|
|
7
|
+
|
|
8
|
+1. Install and open termux
|
|
9
|
+
|
|
10
|
+2. Update termux packages using:
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+ ```bash
|
|
13
|
+ pkg update
|
|
14
|
+ pkg upgrade
|
|
15
|
+ ```
|
|
16
|
+ Select `y` if any configuration changes are asked
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+3. Install `git`:
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+ ```bash
|
|
21
|
+ pkg install git
|
|
22
|
+ ```
|
|
23
|
+4. Install packages required for compilation:
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+ ```bash
|
|
26
|
+ pkg install automake autoconf libtool make clang binutils
|
|
27
|
+ ```
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+5. Clone FreeType's git repository:
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+ ```bash
|
|
32
|
+ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
|
|
33
|
+ ```
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+6. Enter into the source directory:
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+ ```
|
|
38
|
+ cd freetype/
|
|
39
|
+ ```
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+7. Now you can compile FreeType according to [INSTALL_UNIX.md]:
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+ ```bash
|
|
44
|
+ ./autogen.sh
|
|
45
|
+ ./configure
|
|
46
|
+ make -j$(nproc)
|
|
47
|
+ ```
|
|
48
|
+ The compiled binaries can be accessed under `objs/.libs`
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+## 2. Compiling FreeType Demo programs
|
|
51
|
+If you need to test your changes you may want to use ft-demo
|
|
52
|
+programs. They can be compiled and run by follwing these steps:
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+1. First compile FreeType using the steps above.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+2. Clone FreeType demos adjacent to the `freetype/` directory:
|
|
57
|
+
|
|
58
|
+ ```bash
|
|
59
|
+ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
|
|
60
|
+ ```
|
|
61
|
+ i.e. If you can access FreeType repo under `~/freetype`, you should
|
|
62
|
+ be able to access `~/freetype-demos`.
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+3. Enter into the ft-demos directory:
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+ ```bash
|
|
67
|
+ cd freetype-demos
|
|
68
|
+ ```
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+4. Compile the programs:
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+ ```bash
|
|
73
|
+ make
|
|
74
|
+ ```
|
|
75
|
+
|
|
76
|
+5. The compiled binaries can be accessed and executed under `bin/` like:
|
|
77
|
+
|
|
78
|
+ ```bash
|
|
79
|
+ cd bin
|
|
80
|
+ ./ftlint
|
|
81
|
+ ```
