yes

yes too...

In fact, I put in the INSTALL all things that you have to do to compile
freetype, stlport and so on.
But, I had to remove these information because, some people in Nevrax think
that it s not our job
to explain how to compile others external libraries.

Thanks for all these informations and we hope that they helps everybody to
compile more easily.
