You should start compiling FreeType for various platforms (for
example, Windows and GNU/Linux), trying CMake, Meson, and the classical
```
[./autogen.sh]
./configure
make
make install
```
invocation (based on `autoconf` and `libtool`). You should also test
the FreeType demo programs – or write a small program by your own that
uses FreeType. This should get you some feeling how the library works
and behaves.
If you come from Windows: You *must* get some command line experience
on GNU/Linux or any of the BSD flavours. You should also try
mingw-w64 on Windows. This experience is a prerequisite and not part
of the project, by the way :-)
