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).
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.
* include/freetype/ftsystem.h: Include FT_TYPES_H.
(*FT_Alloc_Func, *FT_Realloc_Func): Use size_t for the size arguments.
* src/raster/ftmisc.h: Ditto.
* builds/amiga/src/base/ftsystem.c, builds/unix/ftsystem.c,
* builds/vms/ftsystem.c, src/base/ftsystem.c (ft_alloc, ft_realloc):
Use size_t for the size arguments.
* src/base/ftdbgmem.c (ft_mem_debug_alloc, ft_mem_debug_realloc): Use
FT_Offset, aka size_t, for the size arguments.
This large patch changes the header file directory layout from
`include/freetype/...' to `include/...', effectively removing one
level. Since the file `ft2build.h' is also located in `include'
(and it stays there even after installation), all FreeType header
files are now in a single directory.
Applications that use (a) `freetype-config' or FreeType's
`pkg-config' file to get the include directory for the compiler, and
(b) the documented way for header inclusion like
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
...
don't need any change to the source code.
* include/freetype/*: Move up to...
* include/*: ... this directory.
* builds/amiga/include/freetype/*: Move up to...
* builds/amiga/include/*: ... this directory.
*/*: Essentially do `s@/freetype/@/@' where appropriate.
* CMakeList.txt: Simplify.
* builds/unix/freetype-config.in, builds/unix/freetype2.in: For
`--cflags', return a single directory.
* builds/unix/install.mk (install): No longer try to remove `cache'
and `internal' subdirectories; instead, remove the `freetype'
subdirectory.
- fixing apinames.c, adding support for Watcom and Borland compilers
- adding generation of exported symbols list to the build system, including the Unix one !!
sorry Werner, I have no time to document this in ChangeLog at the moment
(ft_close_stream): Renamed to...
(ft_close_stream_by_munmap): This.
(ft_close_stream_by_free): New function.
(FT_Stream_Open): Use fallback method if mmap fails.
Use proper function for closing the stream.
* src/type1/t1load.c (parse_dict): Initialize `start_binary'.
FT_LOCAL and FT_LOCAL_DEF, respectively, as with other ftconfig.h
files.
* builds/unix/ftconfig.in: Add argument to FT_LOCAL and
FT_LOCAL_DEF.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c: s/FT_Assert/FT_ASSERT/.
* builds/unix/configure.ac: Temporarily deactivate creation of
../../Jamfile.
* builds/unix/configure: Updated.
(some platforms don't provide this ANSI function !!)
some changes to "ftsystem.c" implementations in order to use
the new memory debugger on Unix, VMS and Amiga too !!
Removed. ANSI C doesn't (explicitly) allow macro expansion in
arguments using `##'.
(FT2_PUBLIC_FILE, FT2_CONFIG_FILE, FT2_INTERNAL_FILE): Use directory
names directly. Make them configurable. Use `##' to strip leading
and trailing spaces from arguments.
* builds/unix/ft2unix.h: Adapted.
* src/base/ftsystem.c (ft_alloc, ft_realloc, ft_free, ft_io_stream,
ft_close_stream): Use FT_CALLBACK_DEF.
* builds/unix/ftsystem.c: Use new header scheme.
(FT_Done_Memory): Use free() from FT_Memory structure.
* src/base/ftinit.c, src/base/ftmac.c: Header scheme fixes.
* include/freetype/config/ft2build.h (FT2_CONFIG_ROOT,
FT2_PUBLIC_FILE, FT2_CONFIG_FILE, FT2_INTERNAL_FILE,
FT_SOURCE_FILE): Use `##' operator to be really ANSI C compliant.
More C++ fixes: Introducing LOCAL_FUNC_X for local functions used in
function pointers (there are no local anonymous functions in C++) and
FT_CPLUSPLUS (instead of FT_EXPORT_VAR) to define linkage of structures
which contain function pointers.
