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). + 2020-09-11 Alexei Podtelezhnikov <apodtele@gmail.com> [raster] Improve the second pass (#58373). |
