-The freetype library can now be build during the configure process.
-Download the freetype sources and unpack them into an arbitrary directory:
-
-wget http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-2.5.3.tar.gz
-tar -xzf freetype-2.5.3.tar.gz
-
-Then run configure with '--with-freetype-src=<freetype_src>'. This will
-automatically build the freetype library into '<freetype_src>/lib64' for 64-bit
-builds or into '<freetype_src>/lib32' for 32-bit builds.
-Afterwards you can always use '--with-freetype-include=<freetype_src>/include'
-and '--with-freetype-lib=<freetype_src>/lib[32|64]' for other builds.
-
-Alternatively you can unpack the sources like this to use the default directory:
-
-tar --one-top-level=$HOME/freetype --strip-components=1 -xzf freetype-2.5.3.tar.gz"
