Request for Review: Add Mac OS X Instructions to README-builds.html

[Henri Gomez]

Relative question :

I take a look at http://www.opensource.apple.com/ to see if Freetype configure/build options are detailed but didn't find anything usefull. 

I want to check my configure options, using clang and dual arch settings. 

Any feedbacks welcomed.

It seems like Apple has dropped the "Mac" part of "Mac OS X" and now only call the product "OS X Lion" [4].  Question is if this is only a marketing term or if it's now the official name. In this webrev I've used "Mac OS X".

I do not think it is part of the base install of the Dev Tools, it is not separately downloadable (so I need to try to find those @#$%@&! DVDs) and it is not a command-line tool. Or is it part of what you get with that install option? I am still on SnowLeopard, so I do not know. And I cannot build the JDK for lack of freetype, which seems to come with X11.
