Example usage:
# Configure Meson build in directory `build-meson` to generate
# release binaries comparable to to the ones from the
# autotools/make build system.
meson setup build-meson \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--buildtype=debugoptimized \
--strip \
-Db_ndebug=true
# After configuring the Meson build with the above command,
# compile and install to `/usr/local/`; this includes a pkg-config
# file.
ninja -C build-meson install
# Alternatively, compile and install to `/tmp/aa/usr/local/...`
# for packaging.
DESTDIR=/tmp/aa ninja -C build-meson install
# Generate documentation under `build-meson/docs`.
ninja -C build-meson docs
Library size comparison for stripped `libfreetype.so` generated by
all three build systems:
- Default build (autotools + libtool): 712 KiB
- CMake build (RelWithDebInfo): 712 KiB
- Meson build: 712 KiB
* meson.build: New top-level Meson build file for the library.
* meson_options.txt: New file. It holds user-selectable options for
the build, which can be printed with `meson configure`, and selected
at `meson setup` or `meson --reconfigure` time with
`-D<option>=<value>`.
* scripts/parse_modules_cfg.py: A script invoked by `meson.build` to
parse `modules.cfg` and extract important information out of it
(i.e., the list of modules).
* scripts/process_ftoption_h.py: New script invoked by `meson.build`
to process the original `ftoption.h` file. It enables or disables
configuration macro variables based on the available dependencies.
This is similar to what other build systems are using (i.e., Meson's
`configure_file()` command is not used here).
* scripts/extract_freetype_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the FreeType version number from
`<freetype/freetype.h>`.
* scripts/extract_libtool_version.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to extract the libtool `revision_info` data from
`builds/unix/configure.raw`, and to generate the corresponding
shared library suffix.
* scripts/generate_reference_docs.py: New script invoked by
`meson.build` to generate the FreeType 2 reference documentation
(using the `docwriter` and `mkdocs` packages, which must be already
installed).
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off macro definitions
required by the FreeType API headers to...
* include/freetype/config/public-macros.h: ...this new file.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off macro definitions used
by the library but not to be exposed to clients to...
* include/freetype/config/compiler-macros.h: ...this new file.
* include/freetype/internal/*.h, src/raster/ftraster.h: Include
`compiler-macros.h' where needed.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off mac-specific stuff
to...
* include/freetype/config/mac-support.h: ...this new file.
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/configure.raw: Remove `/undef ->
#undef' string replacement; the affected code is no longer part of
the `ftconfig.h' template.
Refactor some of the `ftconfig.h' headers and template to move the
definition of the FreeType integer types (e.g., `FT_Int16') to a
common header file `freetype/config/integer-types.h'.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in, builds/vms/ftconfig.h,
include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h: Split off integer type
definition stuff to...
* include/freetype/config/integer-types.h: ...this new file.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in: Control the definition of
`FT_SIZEOF_INT' and `FT_SIZEOF_LONG' with macro
`FT_USE_AUTOCONF_SIZEOF_TYPES'. If these are not defined, auto
detection happens in `integer-types.h' as usual based on `INTXX_MAX'
values. Otherwise the autoconf-detected values are used.
* builds/unix/configure.raw (CPPFLAGS): Don't include path to
`config' directory. Instead, ...
(FT_CONFIG_STANDARD_LIBRARY_H): Use complete path.
Since we are no longer limited to 8.3 file names, it is simpler to
follow the usual conventions for template files.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.in: Renamed to...
* builds/unix/ftconfig.h.in: ...this.
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/configure.raw: Updated.
We no longer have to take care of the 8.3 file name limit; this
allows us (a) to introduce longer, meaningful file names, and (b) to
avoid macro names in `#include' lines altogether since some
compilers (most notably Visual C++) doesn't support this properly.
*/*: Replace
#include FOO_H
with
#include <freetype/foo.h>
or something similar. Also update the documentation.
This macro was updated by the unix configure script and the
`CMakeLists.txt' one, but is never used in the source tree (nor is
<stdint.h> included anywhere).
* CMakeLists.txt, builds/unix/ftconfig.in: Don't handle
`HAVE_STDINT_H'.
These have not been used in a very, very long time, so better remove
them. A corresponding patch will be submitted to the
`freetype2-demos' repository.
* src/Jamfile, src/*/Jamfile, Jamrules: Delete.
The LCD modules were never truly independent. They mostly served as
a way to disable patented LCD rendering, which is no longer necessary.
The `smooth' module now handles LCD modes as well.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_lcd_renderer_class.
ft_smooth_lcdv_renderer_class): Deleted.
(ft_render_smooth): Reworked from `ft_render_smooth_generic'.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.h: Remove dedicated LCD classes.
* src/smooth/module.mk: Remove dedicated LCD modules.
* include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: Ditto.
* builds/amiga/include/config/ftmodule.h: Ditto.
* include/freetype/ftmodapi.h: Do not mention LCD modules.

We are going to add auto-hinter support for Hanifi Rohingya, which
was introduced in Unicode 11.0.
Creating the API Reference in the (new) `reference' sub-directory is
consistent with other documentation sub-topics, such as `design',
`glyphs' and `tutorial'.
This patch fixes broken hyperlinks in the documentation pointing to
and from the API Reference. It also allows web assets to load from
their relative paths.
* builds/freetype.mk (DOC_DIR): Adjust.
(refdoc, refdoc-venv): Add `--site' argument.
* builds/toplevel.mk (do-dist): Updated.
Brotli is required for decompressing WOFF2 font directory streams.
The library is thus being added as an optional dependency for
FreeType.
* builds/unix/configure.raw: Add checks for `libbrotlidec'.
(REQUIRES_PRIVATE, LIBS_PRIVATE, LIBSSTATIC_CONFIG): Updated.
* devel/ftoption.h, include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
