1Fontconfig is built with the traditional configure script:
2
3	$ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
4
5If you checked out from the git repository (as opposed to downloading a
6tarball), you need to run autogen.sh instead of configure:
7
8	$ ./autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
9
10Either way, that should generate valid Makefiles, then:
11
12	$ make
13	$ make install
14
15If you're going to package fontconfig for release, there are several
16important steps:
17
18 1.	Create new version
19 		sh new-version.sh 2.xx.xx
20		
21 2. 	rebuild the configuration files with autogen.sh
22		./autogen.sh --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --localstatedir=/var
23		
24 3.	make distcheck
25 
26 4.	Copy ChangeLog-2.x.y and fontconfig-2.x.y.tar.gz to
27 
28 		freedesktop.org:/srv/www.freedesktop.org/www/software/fontconfig/release
29	
30 5.	Update the Fontconfig Devel wiki page
31 	https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/Devel/
32	
33 6.	Update the fontconfig documentation
34
35		scp -rp doc/fontconfig-user.html doc/fontconfig-devel freedesktop.org:/srv/www.freedesktop.org/www/software/fontconfig
36
37 7.	Compute md5sums for release files:
38		md5sum fontconfig-2.4.x.tar.gz ChangeLog-2.4.x
39		
40 8.	Post a note to fontconfig@fontconfig.org.  Include the md5sums.
41	gpg sign the message.
