Instructions below are for building standalone OTS utilities, if you want to
use OTS as a library then the recommended way is to copy the source code and
integrate it into your existing build system. Our build system does not build
a shared library intentionally.
General build instructions:
1. If you are building from cloned Git repository, you will need to update
the git sub modules, as well as run autoreconf. A convenience script is
provided:
$ ./autogen.sh
2. Build OTS
$ ./configure
$ make
3. Run the tests (if you wish)
$ make check
Building on Windows:
1. A POSIX-compatible environment is required to build OTS, MSYS2 is
recommended. Follow the installation instructions on
https://msys2.github.io/.
2. Install the required packages:
$ pacman -S autoconf automake pkg-config gcc make
3. Follow the general build instructions above.
Developer build instructions:
1. If you would like to see the source code lines related to reported
errors, then replace configure call above with:
$ ./configure --enable-debug
For example,
$ ./ots-sanitize ~/fonts/ofl/merriweathersans/MerriweatherSans-Bold.ttf
