+
+There are  several ways  to build the  FreeType library,  depending on
+your system and the level of  customization you need.  Here is a short
+overview of the documentation available:
+
+
+I. Prerequisites and dependencies
+=================================
+
+  FreeType is a low level C library  that only depends on the standard
+  C library with very few platform-dependent optimizations utilized at
+  build time.  Any  C99-compliant compiler  should be able  to compile
+  FreeType.  System libraries,  such as  zlib,  Gzip,  bzip2,  Brotli,
+  and libpng,  might  be  used  to handle  compressed fonts  or decode
+  embedded PNG glyphs.
+
+  FreeType  auto-configuration scripts  should be  able to detect  the
+  prerequisites if the necessary headers are available  at the default
+  locations.  Otherwise,  modify  `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h`
+  to control how the FreeType library gets built.  Normally, you don't
+  need to change anything.
+
+  Applications have very limited control over FreeType's behaviour  at
+  run-time;  look at the documentation of function `FT_Property_Set`.
+
+
+II. Normal installation and upgrades
+====================================
+
+  1. Unix and Unix-like systems
+
+    This also includes MacOS, Cygwin, MinGW + MSYS, Mingw-w64 + MSYS2,
+    and possibly other, similar environments.
+
+    Please read `INSTALL.UNIX` to install or upgrade FreeType  2 on  a
+    Unix system.   Note  that  you  *need*  GNU  Make   for  automatic
+    compilation,  since other make tools won't work (this includes BSD
+    Make).
+
+    GNU Make VERSION 3.81 OR NEWER IS NEEDED!
+
+
+  2. Other systems using GNU Make
+
+    On some  non-Unix platforms, it  is possible to build  the library
+    using only  the GNU Make utility.   Note that *NO OTHER  MAKE TOOL
+    WILL  WORK*[1]!   This  methods   supports  several  compilers  on
+    Windows, OS/2, and BeOS,  including MinGW* (without MSYS*), Visual
+    C++, Borland C++, and more.
+
+    Instructions are provided in the file `INSTALL.GNU`.
+
+
+  3. Other build tools and platforms.
+
+    A few other tools  can be used  to build FreeType.  You  can  find
+    the  corresponding instruction files  in  the FreeType root folder
+    or the builds/ sub-folder.
+
+      CMake   :: see `CMakeLists.txt` for more information
+      Meson   :: see `meson.build` for more information
+      MSBuild :: see `builds/windows/vc2010/freetype.vcxproj`
+      MMS     :: see `vms_make.com` and `docs/INSTALL.VMS`
+
+
+  4. With an IDE Project File (e.g., for Visual Studio or CodeWarrior)
+
+    We provide a  small number of 'project files'  for various IDEs to
+    automatically build  the library as  well.  Note that  these files
+    are not actively supported by FreeType developers,  they can break
+    or become obsolete.
+
+    To find them, have a  look at the content of the `builds/<system>`
+    directory, where <system> stands for your OS or environment.
+
+
+  5. From you own IDE, or own Makefiles
+
+    If  you  want  to  create   your  own  project  file,  follow  the
+    instructions   given  in  the   `INSTALL.ANY`  document   of  this
+    directory.
+
+
+III. Custom builds of the library
+=================================
+
+  Customizing the compilation  of FreeType is easy, and  allows you to
+  select only the components of  the font engine that you really need.
+  For more details read the file `CUSTOMIZE`.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+[1] make++, a make tool written in Perl, has sufficient support of GNU
+    make extensions to build FreeType.  See
+
+      https://makepp.sourceforge.net
+
+    for more information;  you need version 2.0 or newer, and you must
+    pass option `--norc-substitution`.
