A FontForge build script for Windows. This script was based on Matthew Petroff's work, although it has been practically rewritten since. Matthew Petroff is the author of the icons and graphics used: * The icons and graphics are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported license. See here for more information: https://bitbucket.org/mpetroff/unofficial-fontforge-mingw-sdk/wiki/Home The build script (ffbuild.sh) and installer is licensed under the BSD 2-clause license. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Build instructions: See https://sourceforge.net/p/fontforgebuilds/wiki/Using%20the%20build%20script/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGELOG: 02/06/19 * I've removed the previous options to build X11/with the X11 backend. FontForge is now always built with the GDK3 backend. For both the 32 bit and 64 bit builds, FontForge now also uses Python 3 over Python 2. 01/07/15 * Another overhaul to use precompiled X11, libspiro and libuninameslist libraries by default. This should speed up compiling FontForge from complete scratch. Cairo and Pango are still compiled by default, since these libraries may be used by other programs, and the versions compiled against X11 are not completely compatible with these programs. 14/06/14 * Overhauled the build system to allow building 32 and 64 bit builds in one MSYS2 installation. - Compiled files are now built to the prefix target/mingw[32/64]/ so that the MSYS2 system so it's reusable / easy to remove/redo compilation of the files. - If you were using an older build script, it's highly recommended to start with a fresh MSYS2 installation. * Patched libxcb (courtesy of the VcXsrv project) so that FontForge now works with the latest version of libX11. Probably fixes a fair few GUI bugs. * Added a 'msys2-configs' branch that patches the MSYS2 configuration to make using the terminal and git nicer.
