control how the FreeType library gets built. Normally, you don't
need to change anything.
FreeType is a low level C library that only depends on the standard
C library with very few platform-dependent optimizations utilized at
build time. System libraries, such as zlib, Gzip, bzip2, Brotli,
and libpng, might be used to handle compressed fonts or decode
embedded PNG glyphs.
Applications can't control FreeType's behaviour at build time.
To make applications control (some of) FreeType's behaviour at
run-time, look at the documentation of function
`FT_Property_Set'.
FreeType auto-configuration scripts should be able to detect the
prerequisites if the necessary headers are available at the default
locations. Otherwise, modify `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
to control how the FreeType library gets built. Normally, you don't
need to change anything.
