====== Freetype PHP Windows, How to compile ======


Project homepage: [[http:://freetype.org]]

===== Available prebuilt libraries =====

All prebuilt libraries are available in the php-libs [[http://windows.php.net/downloads/php-sdk/deps/|repositories]]

For PHP suitable sources and up-to-date information see [[https://github.com/winlibs/freetype]]

The filename format is:

freetype-x.y.z-vcversion.zip

where x.y.z defines the version, vcversion which Visual C++ has been used.

Only the static libraries are built for now. We may add DLLs later but PHP is linked statically against Freetype.

==== Naming ====

The libraries are named as follow:

freetype{buildtype}{_debug}.lib

{buildtype} can be either MT, ST or empty. MT stands for Multithreaded, ST for Singlethreaded and empty is the default mode (non MT). As in all other libraries, we add the "_debug" postfix for the debug builds.

===== Building Freetype =====

==== Requirements ====
  * Freetype sources [[https://github.com/winlibs/|Src repositories]]
  * Common tools to compile PHP

==== Configurations ====

Edit the file "Jamfile" in the root of the Freetype source directory. Change the line 57 from:
<code bash>
# Name of final library, without extension.
#
FT2_LIB ?= $(LIBPREFIX)freetype ;

</code>
to

<code bash>

# Name of final library, without extension.
#
FT2_LIB ?= $(LIBPREFIX)freetype_a ;

</code>


Tell Jam to use Visual C++:

<code bash>
cd  C:\php-sdk\2k5\x86\libs_buildlibs\freetype-2.3.7
set JAM_TOOLSET=VISUALC
</code>


==== Compilation ====

Open a Platform SDK development console (vc6), or the Visual Studio command line (vc7/8/9) and run:

<code bash>
jam
</code>

The objs directory will contain the static library.

The include directory contains all headers that have to be distributed/installed.
