14The makefile.os4 is for the AmigaOS4 SDK.  To use it, type
15"make -f makefile.os4", it produces a link library libft2_ppc.a.
16
17The makefile is for ppc-morphos-gcc-2.95.3-bin.tgz (gcc 2.95.3 hosted on
1868k-Amiga producing MorphOS-PPC-binaries from http://www.morphos.de).
19To use it, type "make assign", then "make"; it produces a link library
20libft2_ppc.a.
21
22The smakefile is a makefile for Amiga SAS/C 6.58 (no longer available,
23latest sold version was 6.50, updates can be found in Aminet).  It is
24based on the version found in the sourcecode of ttf.library 0.83b for
25FreeType 1.3.1 from Richard Griffith (ragriffi@sprynet.com,
26http://ragriffi.home.sprynet.com).
27
28You will also need the latest include files and amiga.lib from the
29Amiga web site (http://www.amiga.com/3.9/download/NDK3.9.lha) for
30AmigaOS 3.9; the generated code should work under AmigaOS 2.04 and up.
31
32To use it, call "smake assign" and then "smake" from the builds/amiga
33directory.  The results are:
34
35- A link library "ft2_680x0.lib" (where x depends on the setting of
36  the CPU entry in the smakefile) containing all FreeType2 parts
37  except of the init code, debugging code, and the system interface
38  code.
39
40- ftsystem.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
41  system interface code which uses fopen() fclose() fread() fseek()
42  ftell() malloc() realloc() and free() from lib:sc.lib (not pure).
43
44- ftsystempure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
45  system interface code which uses Open() Close() Read() Seek()
46  ExamineFH() AsmAllocPooled() AsmFreePooled() etc.  This version can
47  be used in both normal programs and in Amiga run-time shared system
48  librarys (can be linked with lib:libinit.o, no copying of DATA and
49  BSS hunks for each OpenLibrary() necessary).  Source code is in
50  src/base/ftsystem.c.
51
52- ftdebug.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
53  debugging code which uses vprintf() and exit() (not pure).
54  Debugging can be turned on in FT:include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
55  and with FT_SetTraceLevel().
56
57- ftdebugpure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
58  debugging code which uses KVPrintf() from lib:debug.lib and no
59  exit().  For debugging of Amiga run-time shared system libraries.
60  Source code is in src/base/ftdebug.c.
61
62- NO ftinit.o.  Because linking with a link library should result in
63  linking only the needed object modules in it, but standard
64  ftsystem.o would force ALL FreeType2 modules to be linked to your
65  program, I decided to use a different scheme: You must #include
66  FT:src/base/ftinit.c in your sourcecode and specify with #define
67  statements which modules you need.  See
68  include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h.
69
70
71To use in your own programs:
72
73- Insert the #define and #include statements from top of
74  include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h in your source code and
75  uncomment the #define statements for the FreeType2 modules you need.
76
77- You can use either PARAMETERS=REGISTER or PARAMETERS=STACK for
78  calling the FreeType2 functions, because the link library and the
79  object files are compiled with PARAMETERS=BOTH.
80
81- "smake assign" (assign "FT:" to the FreeType2 main directory).
82
83- Compile your program.
84
85- Link with either ftsystem.o or ftsystempure.o, if debugging enabled
86  with either ftdebug.o or (ftdebugpure.o and lib:debug.lib), and with
87  ft2_680x0.lib as link library.
88
89
90To adapt to other compilers:
91
92- The standard ANSI C maximum length of 31 significant characters in
93  identifiers is not enough for FreeType2.  Check if your compiler has
94  a minimum length of 40 significant characters or can be switched to
95  it.  "idlen=40" is the option for SAS/C.  Setting #define
96  HAVE_LIMIT_ON_IDENTS in an include file may also work (not tested).
97
98- Make sure that the include directory in builds/amiga is searched
99  before the normal FreeType2 include directory, so you are able to
100  replace problematic include files with your own version (same may be
101  useful for the src directory).
102
103- An example of how to replace/workaround a problematic include file
104  is include/freetype/config/ftconfig.h; it changes a #define that
105  would prevent SAS/C from generating XDEF's where it should do that and
106  then includes the standard FreeType2 include file.
