This commit changes many aspect of our cmake build system - shared libraries are compiled by default: * this modifies RPATH of unix executables; * this will prevent a lot of linking issues, esp. from pascal world; * the old behaviour (static libs) is still available with -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=off; * of course in this case you have to provide the full list of dependencies with FPFLAGS and CMAKE_C_FLAGS; - pascal is now fully integrated with cmake, meaning you can just do add_sources and use CMAKE_Pascal_FLAGS: * some of the language features are only partially implemented, for example .inc files will not get rebuilt if you modify them; * target_link_libraries for pascal targets is just dummy as linking is determined within pascal files; * universal builds for osx are not available any more; - bundled libraries and system libraries are addressed using the target name: * this avoids depedency tracking; * this allows to name output as we wish.

How to prepare a new release
----------------------------

. include/freetype/freetype.h:  Update FREETYPE_MAJOR, FREETYPE_MINOR,
  and FREETYPE_PATCH.

. Update version numbers in all files where necessary (for example, do
  a grep for both `2.3.1' and `231' for release 2.3.1).

. builds/unix/configure.raw: Update `version_info'.

. docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release.

. README: Update.

. docs/VERSION.DLL: Document changed `version_info'.

. ChangeLog:   Announce  new  release   (both  in  the  freetype2  and
  freetype2-demos modules).

. Clone the git archive to another directory with

    git clone -l -s . ../freetype2.test

  or something like this and run

    make distclean; make devel; make
    make distclean; make devel; make multi
    make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make CC=g++
    make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make multi CC=g++

    sh autogen.sh
    make distclean; ./configure; make
    make distclean; ./configure CC=g++; make

  in the cloned repository to test compilation with both gcc and g++.

. Test C++ compilation  for freetype2-demos too  (using `git clone' as
  above).

. Run  src/tools/chktrcmp.py  and check  that there  are no  undefined
  trace_XXXX macros.

. Tag the git repositories (freetype2, freetype2-demos) with

    git tag VER-<version> -m "" -u <committer>

  and push the tags with

    git push --tags

  TODO: Tag the home page CVS on savannah.nongnu.org.

. Say `make  dist' in both the  freetype2 and freetype2-demos  modules
  to generate the .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .zip files.

. Create     the     doc    bundles    (freetype-doc-<version>.tar.gz,
  freetype-doc-<version>.tar.bz2,    ftdoc<version>.zip).    This   is
  everything below

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/

  except the `reference' subdirectory.   Do *not* use option `-l' from
  zip!

. Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION', `$SAVANNAH_USER',
  and $SOURCEFORGE_USER  variables) to sign and upload the  bundles to
  both Savannah and SourceForge.  The signing code has been taken from
  the `gnupload' script (part of the automake bundle).

. While files on savannah.gnu.org are automatically moved to the right
  directory, it must be done manually on SourceForge.  Do that now.

. Update the FreeType release notes on SourceForge.

. Copy the reference files (generated by `make dist') to

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/reference

  and

    shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/freetype2/docs/reference

  TODO: Create  FreeType  home  page  CVS  on savannah.nongnu.org  and
        update it accordingly.

        Write script to automatically do this.

        Mirror FreeType's savannah home page everywhere.

. Update

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/index2.html

  and copy it to

    shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/index2.html

. Announce new release on freetype-announce@nongnu.org and to relevant
  newsgroups.
