Xavier Claessens 2c405596 2020-10-26T14:56:05 Meson: Fix dependency lookup and generate ftconfig.h [meson] Fix dependency lookup and generate `ftconfig.h`. - zlib: If not found on the system, meson can build it as a subproject. We thus never use the (outdated) zlib support that comes with FreeType. Doing so has the additional advantage that the zlib code can be shared with other projects like GLib if both are subprojects of an application. - harfbuzz: Build as a subproject if not found on the system. - 'QUESTION: What if the compiler doesn't support `-D` but uses `/D` instead as on Windows?' Answer: Meson translate arguments for us. - visibility: Replace self-made code with meson-specific solution. * meson.build (ft2_defines): Rewrite logic to set and handle it. (process_header_command): New variable, previously called `ftoption_command`. (ftoption_command, ftconfig_command): New variables. (zlib_option): Removed. (zlib_dep): New variable. (ft2_deps): Updated. (harfbuzz_dep): Updated. (ftconfig_h_in, ftconfig_h): New variables. (ft2_sources): Updated. (ft2_lib): Updated, handle visibility. (summary): Updted. * meson_options.txt (zlib): Updated.

David Turner 66978a58 2020-05-17T18:45:41 Add Meson build project file. 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).
