Werner Lemberg 59939244ad Implement new, simplified module selection. With GNU make it is now
sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the
inclusion of modules and base extension files.

This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on
`modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary.

Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the
default location.

* modules.cfg: New file.

* builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'.
Include all `rules.mk' files as specified in `modules.cfg'.
(FTOPTION_FLAG, FTOPTION_H): New variables.
(FT_CFLAGS): Add macro definition for FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H.
Add FTOPTION_FLAG.
($(FT_INIT_OBJ)): Don't use FT_MODULE_LIST.
(CONFIG_H): Add FTMODULE_H and FTOPTION_H.
(INCLUDES): Add DEVEL_DIR.
(INCLUDE_FLAGS, FTSYS_SRC, FTSYS_OBJ, FTDEBUG_SRC, FTDEBUG_OBJ,
OBJ_M, OBJ_S): Use `:=', not `='.
(remove_ftmodule_h): New phony target to delete `ftmodule.h'.
(distclean): Add remove_ftmodule_h.

* builds/modules.mk: (MODULE_LIST): Removed.
(make_module_list, clean_module_list): Replace targets
with...
(FTMODULE_H_INIT, FTMODULE_H_CREATE, FTMODULE_H_DONE): New
variables.  Reason for the change is that it is not possible to have
a phony prerequisite which is run only if the target file must be
rebuilt (phony prerequisites act like subroutines and are *always*
executed).  We only want to rebuild `ftmodule.h' if `module.cfg' is
changed.
Update all callers.
($FTMODULE_H)): Rule to create `ftmodule.h', depending on
`modules.cfg'.

* builds/toplevel.mk: Rewrite and simplify module handling.
(MODULES_CFG, FTMODULE_H): New variables.
Include MODULES_CFG.
(MODULES): New variable to include all `module.mk' and `rules.mk'
files.  We no longer use make's `wildcard' function for this.

* Makefile (USE_MODULES): Remove.  Update all users.
(OBJ_DIR): Define it here.

* src/*/module.mk: Change

    make_module_list: foo
    foo: ...

to

    FTMODULE_H_COMMANDS += FOO
    define FOO
    ...
    endef

in all files.  `FTMODULE_H_COMMANDS' is used in `FTMODULE_H_CREATE'.

* src/base/rules.mk (BASE_EXT_SRC): Use BASE_EXTENSIONS.

* builds/unix/detect.mk (setup): Always execute `configure' script.
(have_mk): Rename to...
(have_Makefile): This.
Don't use `strip' function.

* builds/unix/unix.mk: Include `install.mk' only if BUILD_PROJECT is
defined.
(have_mk): Don't use `strip' function.
Test for unix-def.mk in OBJ_DIR, not BUILD_DIR (and invert the test
accordingly).

* builds/unix/install.mk (install, uninstall): Handle `ftmodule.h'.

* builds/os2/os2-dev.mk, builds/unix/unix-dev.mk,
builds/win32/w32-bccd.mk, builds/win32/w32-dev.mk: Don't define
BUILD_DIR but DEVEL_DIR for development header files.

* builds/ansi/ansi-def.mk (TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR),
builds/beos/beos-def.mk (TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR), builds/unix/unix-def.in
(TOP_DIR, OBJ_DIR): Removed.  Defined elsewhere.

* builds/dos/dos-def.mk (OBJ_DIR), builds/os2/os2-def.mk (OBJ_DIR),
builds/win32/win32-def.mk (OBJ_DIR): Removed.  Defined elsewhere.

* builds/unix/unixddef.mk: Don't define BUILD_DIR but DEVEL_DIR for
development header files.
Don't define PLATFORM.

* configure: Copy `modules.cfg' to builddir if builddir != srcdir.
Update snippet taken from autoconf's m4sh.m4 to current CVS version.
Be more verbose.

* include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: Add comments -- this file is
no longer used if FreeType is built with GNU make.

* docs/CHANGES, docs/CUSTOMIZE, docs/INSTALL, docs/INSTALL.ANY,
docs/INSTALL.GNU, docs/INSTALL.UNX: Document new build mechanism.
Other minor updates.

* modules.txt: Removed.  Contents included in `modules.cfg'.


* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h (FT_QAlloc_Debug,
FT_Free_Debug) [FT_STRICT_ALIASING]: Fix typos.

* src/base/ftdbgmem.c (FT_Alloc_Debug, FT_Realloc_Debug,
FT_QAlloc_Debug, FT_QRealloc_Debug, FT_Free_Debug)
[FT_STRICT_ALIASING]: Implement.

This document contains instructions on how to build the FreeType
library on Unix systems. This also works for emulations like Cygwin
or MSys on Win32:
1. Ensure that you are using GNU Make
-------------------------------------
The FreeType build system _exclusively_ works with GNU Make. You
will not be able to compile the library with the instructions
below using any other alternative (including BSD Make).
[Well, this is not really correct. A few years ago a perl
implementation of make called `makepp' has appeared which can also
build FreeType 2 successfully on Unix platforms. See
http://makepp.sourceforge.net
for more details; you need version 1.19 or newer, and you must
pass option `--norc-substitution'.]
Trying to compile the library with a different Make tool will
print a message like:
Sorry, GNU make is required to build FreeType2.
and the build process will be aborted. If this happens, install
GNU Make on your system, and use the GNUMAKE environment variable
to name it, if necessary.
2. Build and install the library
--------------------------------
The following should work on all Unix systems where the `make'
command invokes GNU Make:
./configure [options]
make
make install (as root)
The default installation path is `/usr/local'. It can be changed
with the `--prefix=<path>' option. Example:
./configure --prefix=/usr
When using a different command to invoke GNU Make, use the GNUMAKE
variable. For example, if `gmake' is the command to use on your
system, do something like:
GNUMAKE=gmake ./configure [options]
gmake
gmake install (as root)
If this still doesn't work, there must be a problem with your
system (e.g., you are using a very old version of GNU Make).
It is possible to compile FreeType in a different directory.
Assuming the FreeType source files in directory `/src/freetype' a
compilation in directory `foo' works as follows:
cd foo
/src/freetype/configure [options]
make
make install
