    The makefile.os4 is for the AmigaOS4 SDK.  To use it, type
    "make -f makefile.os4", it produces a link library libft2_ppc.a.
    
    The makefile is for ppc-morphos-gcc-2.95.3-bin.tgz (gcc 2.95.3 hosted on
    68k-Amiga producing MorphOS-PPC-binaries from http://www.morphos.de).
    To use it, type "make assign", then "make"; it produces a link library
    libft2_ppc.a.
    
    The smakefile is a makefile for Amiga SAS/C 6.58 (no longer available,
    latest sold version was 6.50, updates can be found in Aminet).  It is
    based on the version found in the sourcecode of ttf.library 0.83b for
    FreeType 1.3.1 from Richard Griffith (ragriffi@sprynet.com,
    http://ragriffi.home.sprynet.com).
    
    You will also need the latest include files and amiga.lib from the
    Amiga web site (http://www.amiga.com/3.9/download/NDK3.9.lha) for
    AmigaOS 3.9; the generated code should work under AmigaOS 2.04 and up.
    
    To use it, call "smake assign" and then "smake" from the builds/amiga
    directory.  The results are:
    
    - A link library "ft2_680x0.lib" (where x depends on the setting of
      the CPU entry in the smakefile) containing all FreeType2 parts
      except of the init code, debugging code, and the system interface
      code.
    
    - ftsystem.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
      system interface code which uses fopen() fclose() fread() fseek()
      ftell() malloc() realloc() and free() from lib:sc.lib (not pure).
    
    - ftsystempure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
      system interface code which uses Open() Close() Read() Seek()
      ExamineFH() AsmAllocPooled() AsmFreePooled() etc.  This version can
      be used in both normal programs and in Amiga run-time shared system
      librarys (can be linked with lib:libinit.o, no copying of DATA and
      BSS hunks for each OpenLibrary() necessary).  Source code is in
      src/base/ftsystem.c.
    
    - ftdebug.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
      debugging code which uses vprintf() and exit() (not pure).
      Debugging can be turned on in FT:include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
      and with FT_SetTraceLevel().
    
    - ftdebugpure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
      debugging code which uses KVPrintf() from lib:debug.lib and no
      exit().  For debugging of Amiga run-time shared system libraries.
      Source code is in src/base/ftdebug.c.
    
    - NO ftinit.o.  Because linking with a link library should result in
      linking only the needed object modules in it, but standard
      ftsystem.o would force ALL FreeType2 modules to be linked to your
      program, I decided to use a different scheme: You must #include
      FT:src/base/ftinit.c in your sourcecode and specify with #define
      statements which modules you need.  See
      include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h.
    
    
    To use in your own programs:
    
    - Insert the #define and #include statements from top of
      include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h in your source code and
      uncomment the #define statements for the FreeType2 modules you need.
    
    - You can use either PARAMETERS=REGISTER or PARAMETERS=STACK for
      calling the FreeType2 functions, because the link library and the
      object files are compiled with PARAMETERS=BOTH.
    
    - "smake assign" (assign "FT:" to the FreeType2 main directory).
    
    - Compile your program.
    
    - Link with either ftsystem.o or ftsystempure.o, if debugging enabled
      with either ftdebug.o or (ftdebugpure.o and lib:debug.lib), and with
      ft2_680x0.lib as link library.
    
    
    To adapt to other compilers:
    
    - The standard ANSI C maximum length of 31 significant characters in
      identifiers is not enough for FreeType2.  Check if your compiler has
      a minimum length of 40 significant characters or can be switched to
      it.  "idlen=40" is the option for SAS/C.  Setting #define
      HAVE_LIMIT_ON_IDENTS in an include file may also work (not tested).
    
    - Make sure that the include directory in builds/amiga is searched
      before the normal FreeType2 include directory, so you are able to
      replace problematic include files with your own version (same may be
      useful for the src directory).
    
    - An example of how to replace/workaround a problematic include file
      is include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h; it changes a #define that
      would prevent SAS/C from generating XDEF's where it should do that and
      then includes the standard FreeType2 include file.
