Peter Barfuss 784f3e5548 Rewrite TTF to Bezier conversion using Freetype.
Benefits:
  * Much simpler code.
  * Handles the entire TTF spec, not just a small subset that
    only really worked well on Windows fonts.
  * Handles all character sets as well as accented characters.
  * Much faster parsing, since Freetype lazily loads and
    caches glyphs.
  * Support for basically every kind of font that was invented,
    not just TTF.

Note that OpenType features, e.g. ligatures, are not yet supported.
This means that Arabic and Devanagari scripts, among others, will
not be rendered in their proper form.

RTL scripts are not supported either, neither in TTF nor in
the text window. Adding RTL support is comparatively easy, but
given that Arabic would not be legibly rendered anyway, this is not
done so far.

README.md

SolveSpace

This repository contains the official repository of SolveSpace.

Installation

Mac OS X (>=10.6 64-bit), Debian (>=jessie) and Ubuntu (>=trusty)

Binary packages for Mac OS X and Debian derivatives are available via GitHub releases.

Other systems

See below.

Building on Linux

Building for Linux

You will need CMake, libpng, zlib, json-c, fontconfig, freetype, gtkmm 2.4, pangomm 1.4, OpenGL and OpenGL GLU. On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:

apt-get install libpng12-dev libjson-c-dev libfreetype6-dev \
                libfontconfig1-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev \
                libgl-dev libglu-dev libglew-dev cmake

After that, build SolveSpace as following:

mkdir cbuild
cd cbuild
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

A fully functional port to GTK3 is available, but not recommended for use due to bugs in this toolkit.

Building for Windows

You will need CMake, a Windows cross-compiler, and Wine with binfmt support. On a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu) these can be installed with:

apt-get install cmake mingw-w64 wine-binfmt

Before building, check out the submodules:

git submodule update --init

After that, build 32-bit SolveSpace as following:

mkdir cbuild
cd cbuild
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw32.cmake ..
make solvespace

Or, build 64-bit SolveSpace as following:

mkdir cbuild
cd cbuild
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchain-mingw64.cmake ..
make solvespace

The application is built as cbuild/src/solvespace.exe.

Space Navigator support will not be available.

Building on Mac OS X

You will need XCode tools, CMake and libpng. Assuming you use homebrew, these can be installed with:

brew install cmake libpng

XCode has to be installed via AppStore; it requires a free Apple ID.

After that, build SolveSpace as following:

mkdir cbuild
cd cbuild
cmake ..
make

The app bundle is built in cbuild/src/solvespace.app.

Building on Windows

You will need cmake and Visual C++.

GUI build

Check out the git submodules. Create a directory build in the source tree and point cmake-gui to the source tree and that directory. Press "Configure" and "Generate", then open build\solvespace.sln with Visual C++ and build it.

Command-line build

First, ensure that git and cl (the Visual C++ compiler driver) are in your %PATH%; the latter is usually done by invoking vcvarsall.bat from your Visual Studio install. Then, run the following in cmd or PowerShell:

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles"
nmake

MSVC build

It is also possible to build SolveSpace using MinGW, though Space Navigator support will be disabled.

First, ensure that git and gcc are in your $PATH. Then, run the following in bash:

git submodule update --init
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
