Re: [ft-devel] Contribution to freetype

[Parth Wazurkar]

Now after some time now after working on FreeType I am getting familiar with the code base.

After studying the proposed projects I would like to work upon 'the integration of VFlib's TeX format drivers into FreeType' as my the GSOC project. I am currently studying VFlib and trying to figure out its working. Can you please help me how should I proceed further with the project.

Thank You

Regards

OK I will do that.
Actually I thought if there was any error in my installation or not.

Thank You

The demo programs leave out all error checking for simplicity.  You
have to take care of that by yourself.

I strongly suggest that you get acquainted with (a) compiling and
linking in general, and (b) how to use a debugger like `gdb' or a GUI
front-end to it to identify the source code location where the program
crashed.

However, this mailing list is not the right place to do that, sorry.
