A Step-by-Step Guide for Installing VFlib 2.25

Installation of FreeType

Obtain FreeType version 1.2 or later from freetype.org.
Unpack the archive file. (The percent character % below is a prompt of a shell.)
```
  % gzip -cd < freetype-1.2.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
```
Go to the FreeType directory.
```
  % cd freetype-1.2 
```
Run configure script.
```
  % ./configure 
```
Run make to compile.
```
  % make 
```

Become a root user and install. (Or, ask a root user to do this stage.)

  % su 
  Password: XXXXXXX    (type the password for root user)
  # make install
  # exit
  %

Go to up directory.
```
  % cd .. 
```

Installation of VFlib 2

Obtain VFlib 2.25 from the download page

The procedure is quite similar to the previous one.

  % gzip -cd < VFlib2-2.25.6.tar.gz | tar xvf - 
  % cd VFlib2-2.25.6
  % ./configure

Note
By default, VFlib is compiled not to use FreeType. To compile VFlib to use FreeType feature, run configure program with the following long options, for example. Probably, most users do the following.

   % ./configure --with-freetype \
                 --with-freetype-includedir=/usr/local/include \
                 --with-freetype-libdir=/usr/local/lib    [RETURN]

Now, compile VFlib. % make % su # make install # exit % cd ..

Now you are done.
