How to compile libfreetype

Libfreetype is designed for cross-platform applications.

In windows to compile, you can directly open the freetype-2.4.10 \ builds \ win32 \ vc2008 directory freetype. sln for compilation.

 

Sometimes we only want to do something simple for a specific font, then we can crop libfreetype.

There are two cropping methods: www.2cto.com

1. for GNU make, you need to modify modules. cfg.

2. For other compilers, such as vs2008, You need to modify ftmodule. h.

If you only want to process the truetype font file, you can retain only the sfnt_module_class and tt_driver_class modules.

For more information, see freetype-2.4.10 \ docs \ CUSTOMIZE and freetype-2.4.10 \ docs \ INSTALL. ANY

After cropping, the size of the executable program can be reduced from kb to kb.
