      1 Please follow the instructions in  INSTALL.UNIX to install FreeType on
      2 Mac OS X.

      4 Currently  FreeType2 functions  based on  some deprecated  Carbon APIs
      5 return  `FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature' always,  even  if FreeType2  is
      6 configured and  built on  the system that  deprecated Carbon  APIs are
      7 available.   To  enable  deprecated  FreeType2  functions  as  far  as
      8 possible, replace `src/base/ftmac.c' by `builds/mac/ftmac.c'.

     10 Starting with  Mac OS X  10.5, gcc  defaults the deployment  target to
     11 10.5.  In previous  versions of Mac OS X, this  defaulted to 10.1.  If
     12 you want your built binaries to run only on 10.5, this change does not
     13 concern you.  If  you want them to  also run on older  versions of Mac
     14 OS  X,   then  you   must  either  set   the  MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
     15 environment  variable  or  pass `-mmacosx-version-min'  to  gcc.   You
     16 should specify the oldest  version of Mac OS you want  the code to run
     17 on.  For example, if you use Bourne shell:
     18 
     19   export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2
     20 
     21 or, if you use C shell:
     22 
     23   setenv MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 10.2
     24 
     25 Alternatively, you could pass `-mmacosx-version-min=10.2' to gcc.
     26 
     27 Here the number 10.2 is the lowest version that the built binaries can
     28 run on.  In the  above cases, the built binaries will run  on Mac OS X
     29 10.2 and later, but _not_ earlier.  If you want to run on earlier, you
     30 have to set lower version, e.g., 10.0.
