-Due to our use of `libtool' to generate and install the FreeType 2
-libraries on Unix systems, as well as other historical events, it is
-generally very difficult to know precisely which release of the font
-engine is installed on a given system.
-
-This file tries to explain why and to document ways to properly detect
-FreeType on Unix.
-
-
-1. Version and Release numbers
-------------------------------
-
-For each new public release of FreeType 2, there are generally *three*
-distinct `version' numbers to consider:
-
- * The official FreeType 2 release number, like 2.0.9 or 2.1.3.
-
- * The libtool (and Unix) specific version number, like 9.2.3. This is
- what `freetype-config --version' returns.
-
- * The platform-specific shared object number, used for example when
- the library is installed as `/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6.3.2'.
-
-The platform-specific number is, unsurprisingly, platform-specific and
-varies with the operating system you are using (several variants of
-Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, etc.). You should thus _never_ use it, even
-for simple tests.
-
-The libtool-specific number does not equal the release number but is
-tied to it.
-
-The release number is available at *compile* time through the following
-macros defined in FT_FREETYPE_H:
-
- - FREETYPE_MAJOR: major release number
- - FREETYPE_MINOR: minor release number
- - FREETYPE_PATCH: patch release number
-
-See below for a small autoconf fragment.
-
-The release number is also available at *runtime* through the
-`FT_Library_Version' API. Unfortunately, this one wasn't available or
-working correctly before the 2.1.3 official release.
-
-
-2. History
-----------
-
-The following table gives, for each official release, the corresponding
-libtool number, as well as the shared object number found on _most_
-systems, but not all of them:
-
-
- release libtool so
- -------------------------------
- 2.4.4 12.2.6 6.6.2
- 2.4.3 12.1.6 6.6.1
- 2.4.2 12.0.6 6.6.0
- 2.4.1 11.1.5 6.5.1
- 2.4.0 11.0.5 6.5.0
- 2.3.12 10.0.4 6.4.0
- 2.3.11 9.22.3 6.3.22
- 2.3.10 9.21.3 6.3.21
- 2.3.9 9.20.3 6.3.20
- 2.3.8 9.19.3 6.3.19
- 2.3.7 9.18.3 6.3.18
- 2.3.6 9.17.3 6.3.17
- 2.3.5 9.16.3 6.3.16
- 2.3.4 9.15.3 6.3.15
- 2.3.3 9.14.3 6.3.14
- 2.3.2 9.13.3 6.3.13
- 2.3.1 9.12.3 6.3.12
- 2.3.0 9.11.3 6.3.11
- 2.2.1 9.10.3 6.3.10
- 2.2.0 9.9.3 6.3.9
- 2.1.10 9.8.3 6.3.8
- 2.1.9 9.7.3 6.3.7
- 2.1.8 9.6.3 6.3.6
- 2.1.7 9.5.3 6.3.5
- 2.1.6 9.5.3 6.3.5
- 2.1.5 9.4.3 6.3.4
- 2.1.4 9.3.3 6.3.3
- 2.1.3 9.2.3 6.3.2
- 2.1.2 9.1.3 6.3.1
- 2.1.1 9.0.3 ?
- 2.1.0 8.0.2 ?
- 2.0.9 9.0.3 ?
- 2.0.8 8.0.2 ?
- 2.0.4 7.0.1 ?
- 2.0.1 6.1.0 ?
-
-The libtool numbers are a bit inconsistent due to the library's history:
-
- - 2.1.0 was created as a development branch from 2.0.8 (hence the same
- libtool numbers).
-
- - 2.0.9 was a bug-fix release of the `stable' branch, and we
- incorrectly increased its libtool number.
-
- - 2.1.4 was a development version, however it was stable enough to be
- the basis of the 2.2.0 release.
-
-
-3. Autoconf Code Fragment
--------------------------
-
-Lars Clausen contributed the following autoconf fragment to detect which
-version of FreeType is installed on a system. This one tests for a
-version that is at least 2.0.9; you should change it to check against
-other release numbers.
-
-
- AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether FreeType version is 2.0.9 or higher])
- old_CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS"
- CPPFLAGS=`freetype-config --cflags`
- AC_TRY_CPP([
-
-#include <ft2build.h>
-#include FT_FREETYPE_H
-#if (FREETYPE_MAJOR*1000 + FREETYPE_MINOR)*1000 + FREETYPE_PATCH < 2000009
-#error Freetype version too low.
-#endif
- ],
- [AC_MSG_RESULT(yes)
- FREETYPE_LIBS=`freetype-config --libs`
- AC_SUBST(FREETYPE_LIBS)
- AC_DEFINE(HAVE_FREETYPE,1,[Define if you have the FreeType2 library])
- CPPFLAGS="$old_CPPFLAGS"],
- [AC_MSG_ERROR([Need FreeType library version 2.0.9 or higher])])
