[Freetype] Installing with Jam

[Ray Phillips]

Dear Freetype Users:

I'm trying to install FreeType 2.0.5 on a NetBSD/i386 1.5.2 machine, 
and seem to be missing something obvious.  The INSTALL file says the 
preferred method is to use Jam, so I built that from source without 
any problems, then executed

% jam

which produced objs/libfreetype.a.  However, the instructions are 
silent on how to then install this library.  Is it just a matter of 
copying it to /usr/local/lib and setting its owner:group and mode to 
appropriate values?

I also attempted to build a shared library as per the instructions in 
INSTALL (after installing libtool version 1.4.2).  I'll append the 
results of this attempt to this message.  Could you tell me what's 
gone wrong (and in a nutshell, why shared libraries are preferrable 
to static ones), please?


Ray
