Step by Step - rebuild freetype with bytycode interpreter on FC5

aaccdd

Freetype bytecode interpreter is disabled by default in FC5 , if you dont want to suffer any loss of font quaility, you should enable it while recompiling.
This article gives you a hint  to achieve that goal step by step. This is for your reference only.

step 1
download source rpm from fedora.redhat.com
assume current directory is ~/

1. 
   
2. wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/source/SRPMS/freetype-2.1.10-5.2.1.src.rpm

复制代码

step 2
check out if there's a  fedora's rpm developing tools package installed

1. 
   
2. rpm -q fedora-rpmdevtools

复制代码

skip to step 4 with a positive result

step 3
install fedora rpm developing tools

1. 
   
2. yum install fedora-rpmdevtools
   

复制代码

step 4
create RPM build tree within your home directory

1. 
   
2. fedora-buildrpmtree

复制代码

step 5
install source package

1. 
   
2. rpm -i freetype-2.1.10-5.2.1.src.rpm
   

复制代码

step 6
rebuild rpm package

1. 
   
2. QA_RPATHS=$[ 0x0001|0x0010 ] without_bytecode_interpreter=0 rpmbuild --bb --target=i686 --rmsource --rmspec freetype.spec
   

复制代码

step 7
remove system provided freetype/freetype-devel packages, do this as root

1. 
   
2. rpm -e --nodeps freetype freetype-devel
   

复制代码

step 8
install rebuilded packages, do this as root

1. 
   
2. cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686
   
3. rpm -ivh freetype-2.1.10-5.2.1.i686.rpm
   
4. rpm -ivh freetype-devel-2.1.10-5.2.1.i686.rpm
   

复制代码

step 9
remove source code

1. 
   
2. rm -rf ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/freetype* ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/freetype-*.rpm
