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.
src/gzip/inftrees.c, src/gzip/zconf.h, src/gzip/zlib.h,
src/gzip/zutil.h: updates to allow compilation without compiler
warnings with LCC-Win32
* include/freetype/freetype.h, docs/VERSION.DLL,
builds/unix/configure.ac: updates for the upcoming 2.1.4 release
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/gzip/ftgzip.c: added
support for the FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB option, used to specify
the use of system-wide zlib.
Note that this macro, as well as FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER,
is not #undef-ed anymore. This allows the build system to define them
depending on the configuration (typically by adding -D flags at
compile time).
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): removed compiler warnings
in optimized mode relative to the "volatile" local variables. This was
not a compiler bug after all, but the fact that a pointer to a volatile
variable is not the same than a volatile pointer to a variable :-)
the fix was to change "volatile FT_Byte* p"
into "FT_Byte* volatile p"
* src/pfr/pfrload.c, src/pfr/pfrdrivr.c, src/gzip/inftrees.c: removed
compiler warnings in optimized modes
* src/gzip/*.[hc]: modified our ZLib copy in order to prevent exporting
any zlib function names outside of the component. This prevents linking
problems on some platforms, when applications want to link FreeType
_and_ ZLib together.

* src/psaux/psobjs.c (ps_table_add): modified increment loop in
order to implement exponential behaviour
