Trying to build FreeType ...

I'm trying to build FreeType, following the readme instructions :

To build and install&#58;

   sh autogen.sh
   LDFLAGS="-L`psp-config --pspsdk-path`/lib -lc -lpspuser" \
      ./configure --host psp --prefix=`psp-config --psp-prefix`
   make
   make install

The autogen seems to work fine. The problems happen at the second/third line, which I don't understand to begin with, packed with apostrophes. I manage to type exactly like that but I get a :

Code: Select all

cd builds/unix; ./configure --host psp --prefix=psp-config --psp-prefix
configure&#58; error&#58; unrecognized option&#58; --psp-prefix
Try './configure --help^' for more information.
make&#58; *** &#91;builds/unix/unix-def.mk&#93; Error 1

Looked at the --help, but I'm not sure I understand what this command is even supposed to do.

Any tips or hints would be humbly appreciated ...

Those aren't apostrophes, they are backquotes (`). If you copy and paste the line you should be fine.

Thanks for the help, I didn't realized first that I could "Paste" inside Cygwin shell window. Now it looks like it's working.
