The git archive doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
standard builds with `configure`

Note that `aclocal` is provided by the 'automake' package on Linux,
and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X).
alternative build methods
-------------------------
For static builds that don't use platform-specific optimizations, no
configure script is necessary at all; saying
make setup ansi
make
should work on all platforms that have GNU `make` (or `makepp`).
Similarly, a build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from
the git repository.
should work on all platforms that have GNU `make` (or `makepp`).
A build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from the git
repository. However, if you want to use the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro
(see file `docs/DEBUG` for more information) it is currently mandatory
to execute `autogen.sh` in advance; this script clones the 'dlg' git
submodule and copies some files into FreeType's source tree.
For using the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro while debugging (see file
`docs/DEBUG` for more information) the following git commands are
necessary to check out the 'dlg' library as a git submodule.
git submodule init
git submodule update
contributing
------------
If you want to contribute to FreeType it is recommended to install the
`git-merge-changelog` program – we use a `ChangeLog` file, which often
