txt2dat location

OK, I suppose it's worth giving txt2dat another try…but is there anyone who can help me interpret the installation instructions? They seem to be targeted to those already familiar with coding/programming concepts.

For example, it says in the readme file:

Quote:After untarring the source archive, in most cases all you will need to do is:

./configure
make


How do I "do" that?

Also, I assume I need to install FreeType. There are more instructions there:

Quote:However, there are some other options you may want to look at, especially if you

intend to link Freetype statically:


Do I? What does it mean to link statically vs. dynamically?


Quote:You need a version of make that works. Freetype 2.3.9 requires at least GNU make

  3.81. On Windows this may mean upgrading


What might it mean on MacOS?
