Additional Steps

To use core/freetype as a stand alone binary, you must configure pkg_config_path which isn't exported to your habitat studio environment, unless core/freetype is implemented into a service.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(hab pkg path core/freetype)/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(hab pkg path core/zlib)/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(hab pkg path core/libpng)/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Using an example binary

You can now use the binary as normal:

/bin/freetype-config --help or freetype-config --help
