INSTALL

   1 Fontconfig is built with the traditional configure script:
   2
   3         $ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
   4
   5 This should generate valid Makefiles, then:
   6
   7         $ make
   8         $ make install
   9
  10 If you're going to package fontconfig for release, there are several
  11 important steps:
  12
  13  1.     Update the version numbers
  14                 configure.in
  15                 fontconfig/fontconfig.h
  16
  17  2.     Fix the README
  18                 Change version number
  19                 Set the date
  20
  21  3.     Commit those changes
  22
  23  4.     rebuild the configuration files with autogen.sh
  24                 sh autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var
  25
  26  5.     make distcheck (NB: won't work without docbook-utils -PL)
  27
  28  6.     tag the tree
  29                 git-tag -u 096c4dd3 -m'Version 2.3.xx' 2.3.xx
  30
  31  7.     make Changelog-2.3.xx
  32                 git-log 2.3.(xx-1).. > ChangeLog-2.3.xx
  33
  34  8.     Copy ChangeLog-2.3.xx and fontconfig-2.3.xx.tar.gz to

  39         http://fontconfig.org/wiki/Devel
  40
  41 10.     Compute md5sums for release files:
  42                 md5sum fontconfig-2.3.xx.tar.gz ChangeLog-2.3.xx
  43
  44 11.     Post a note to fontconfig@fontconfig.org.  Include the md5sums.
