15 Compilation and Installation
16 ============================
19 [`INSTALL`](http://repo.or.cz/w/ttfautohint.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/INSTALL)
21 [`INSTALL.git`](http://repo.or.cz/w/ttfautohint.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/INSTALL.git)
22 (part of the source code bundle) for generic instructions how to compile the
23 ttfautohint library together with its front-ends using a POSIX compatible
29 The generic instructions should work just fine. Since ttfautohint depends
30 on [Qt] version 4.x.x, [FreeType] version 2.4.5 or newer, and [HarfBuzz]
31 version 0.9.19 or newer, you should install packages for these libraries
32 (called 'libqt4', 'libfreetype6'^[The number\ '6' indicates the version of
33 the shared library of FreeType, which is not directly related to the source
34 code version of FreeType.], and 'libharfbuzz0' or similar) together with its
35 development bundles (called 'libqt4-devel', 'freetype2-devel', and
36 'harfbuzz-devel' or similar) before running ttfautohint's `configure`
43 Precompiled binaries `ttfautohint.exe` and `ttfautohintGUI.exe` are
44 available, being statically linked to [Qt], [FreeType], and [HarfBuzz].
45 This means that the two programs are not dependent on any other
46 program-specific DLL, and you can move them to any place you like.
48 Hints for compilation with the [MinGW] environment are given in
55 Right now, only a precompiled binary `ttfautohint` is offered; a
56 ready-to-run app bundle for the GUI version is not yet available.
58 Detailed instructions to compile both `ttfautohint` and `ttfautohintGUI` can
59 be found on [ttfautohint's
60 homepage](http://freetype.org/ttfautohint/osx.html).
