36 Mailing Lists
37 =============
38
39 The preferred way of communication with the FreeType team is using
40 e-mail lists.
41
42 general use and discussion: freetype (a] nongnu.org
43 engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel (a] nongnu.org
44 announcements: freetype-announce (a] nongnu.org
45 git repository tracker: freetype-commit (a] nongnu.org
46
47 The lists are moderated; see

54 Bugs
55 ====
56
57 Please submit bug reports at
58
59 https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype
60
61 Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to
62 `freetype-devel (a] nongnu.org'. Don't forget to send a detailed
63 explanation of the problem -- there is nothing worse than receiving
64 a terse message that only says `it doesn't work'.

README.android
README.git
1 The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
2 UNIXish platforms. To generate them say
3
4 sh autogen.sh
5
6 which in turn depends on the following packages:
7
8 automake (1.10.1)
9 libtool (2.2.4)
10 autoconf (2.62)
11
12 The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions
13 should work too, of course. Note that autogen.sh also sets up proper
14 file permissions for the `configure' and auxiliary scripts.
15
16 The autogen.sh script now checks the version of above three packages
17 whether they match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and
18 suggest either upgrading or using an environment variable to point to
19 a more recent version of the required tool(s).
20
21 Note that `aclocal' is provided by the `automake' package on Linux,
22 and that `libtoolize' is called `glibtoolize' on Darwin (OS X).
23
24
25 For static builds which don't use platform specific optimizations, no
26 configure script is necessary at all; saying
27
28 make setup ansi
29 make
30
31 should work on all platforms which have GNU make (or makepp).
32
33
34 Similarly, a build with `cmake' can be done directly from the git
35 repository.
