A very short post<\/h1>\n

I’ve been reading about SIL International’s Graphite engine<\/a> and it looks really interesting. I downloaded the code and ran the CMake-based build process through the CMake<\/a> graphical interface. It didn’t work. Eventually, I found some instructions to build it from the command line, so here’s the way I did it. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Make sure the cmake.exe<\/code> is in your Windows PATH<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  2. Download the Graphite source code<\/a> and unpack into a directory (e.g, called Graphite<\/code>).<\/li>\n
  3. Change directory to the one containing the Graphite source code.<\/li>\n
  4. I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 so you’ll need to adjust the -G<\/code> parameter (below) to your build environment (cmake --help<\/code> tells you the ones it supports).<\/li>\n
  5. Run the command (all on one line): cmake -G \"Visual Studio 9 2008\" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGRAPHITE2_COMPARE_RENDERER:BOOL=OFF<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If all goes well you should see something like the following, together with a generated Visual Studio Solution file graphite2.sln<\/code>.<\/p>\n

    \r\n-- Build: Release\r\n-- Segment Cache support: enabled\r\n-- File Face support: enabled\r\n-- Tracing support: enabled\r\nCMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:54 (message):\r\n  vm machine type direct can only be built using GCC\r\n\r\n-- Using vm machine type: call\r\n-- Configuring done\r\n-- Generating done\r\n-- Build files have been written to: E:\/SILgraide\/Graphite\r\n<\/pre>\n
    Your Visual Studio Solution should look something like this:<\/p>\n
