Building FreeType with external zlib 1.2.8 makes msvc 14 stop with
the following error.
ftgzip.c
zlib-1.2.8\zlib.h(86): error C2061:
syntax error: identifier 'z_const'
zlib-1.2.8\zlib.h(94): error C2054:
expected '(' to follow 'z_const'
zlib-1.2.8\zlib.h(94): error C2085:
'msg': not in formal parameter list
...
zlib-1.2.8\zlib.h(877): fatal error C1003:
error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation
The error happens because FreeType keeps an own copy of zlib-1.1.4
under `src/gzip'. When building `src/gzip/ftgzip.c' with
FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB defined, it uses
#include <zlib.h>
which correctly finds an external `zlib.h', but `zlib.h' itself has
a line
#include "zconf.h"
which makes Visual Studio 2015 find `src/gzip/zconf.h' while
compiling the files in `src/gzip'.
* src/gzip/zconf.h: Rename to...
* src/gzip/ftzconf.h: ... this.
* src/gzip/zlib.h, src/gzip/rules.mk (GZIP_DRV_SRCS): Updated.
Assure that FreeType's internal include directories are found before
`CPPFLAGS' (which might be set by the user in the environment), and
`CPPFLAGS' before `CFLAGS'.
* builds/freetype.mk (FT_CFLAGS): Don't add `INCLUDE_FLAGS'.
(FT_COMPILE): Make this a special variable for compiling only the
files handled in `freetype.mk'.
(.c.$O): Removed, unused.
* src/*/rules.mk (*_COMPILE): Fix order of include directories.
This is modeled after zlib's `uncompress' function. We need this
for WOFF support.
* include/freetype/ftgzip.h, src/gzip/ftgzip.c (FT_Gzip_Uncompress):
New function.
* src/gzip/rules.mk: Rewrite to better reflect dependencies.
. In all makefiles `/' is used as the path separator. The
conversion to the real path separators is done as late as
possible using $(subst ...).
. $(HOSTSEP) no longer exists. Now, $(SEP) gives the path separator
for the operating system, and the new $(COMPILER_SEP) the path
separator for the compiler tools.
. $(BUILD) has been renamed to $(BUILD_DIR). In general, all
directory variables end with `_DIR'. The variants ending in `_'
(like `BASE_' have been removed).
The following ChangeLog entries only describe changes which are
not related to the redesign.
* builds/beos/beos-def.mk (BUILD_DIR): Fix typo.
* builds/compiler/watcom.mk (LINK_LIBRARY): Fix linker call to avoid
overlong arguments as suggested by J. Ali Harlow
<ali@avrc.city.ac.uk>.
* builds/dos/dos-wat.mk: New file.
* builds/freetype.mk (FREETYPE_H): Include header files from the
`devel' subdirectory.
* builds/os2/os2-dev.mk, builds/unix/unixddef.mk,
builds/unix/unixddef.mk, builds/win32/w32-bccd.mk,
builds/win32/w32-dev.mk (BUILD_DIR): Fix path.
* builds/unix/configure.ac, builds/unic/configure: Updated.
* builds/unix/unix-def.in (DISTCLEAN): Add `freetype2.pc'.
* devel/ftoption.h: Updated.
* docs/VERSION.DLL: updating document to better explain the differences between
the three version numbers being used on Unix, as well as provide the AutoConf
fragment provided by Lars Clausen
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_conic): fixed small bug that
prevented bezier arcs with negative vertical coordinates to be rendered
appropriately
2002-11-27 Vincent Caron <v.caron@zerodeux.net>
* builds/unix/unix-def.in, builds/unix/freetype-config.in,
builds/unix/configure.ac, src/gzip/rules.mk, src/gzip/ftgzip.c:
adding support for system zlib installations when available on the
target platform (Unix only)
