Hello Vincent,

Sorry, was on vacation and pretty busy, but back now. On the topic of the
Meson build, here's my latest update. This version has many improvements:

- Proper pkg-config freetype2.pc generation and installation.
- Fixed shared library install suffix to match libtool-generated one
(number computed from the version_info in build/unix/configure.raw).
- Auto-generation of ftmodule.h and list of base extensions, based on
modules.cfg
- Generation of reference documentation (with "docs" target, but only
inside the build directory).

The last remaining todo is the ability to create a distribution package,
though that might be handled by an independent script as well, since it
needs to run "autogen.sh" in a temporary directory.

Can you tell me about the Windows compilation failure? mmap() should not be
an issue due to the checks in the build.meson file which should use
src/base/ftsystem.c for Windows.
I've setup a Window virtual machine and will start testing with it soon.

Regards

- David

Subject: [build] Add Meson build project files.

This adds a few files to build the FreeType 2 library
with the Meson build system:

- meson.build: top-level Meson build file for the library.

- meson_options.txt: user-selectable options for the build.
  These can be printed with 'meson configure', and selected
  as 'meson setup' or 'meson --reconfigure' time with
  -D<option>=<value>.

- builds/meson/ft{config,option}.h.in: template versions
  of ftconfig.h and ftoption.h to be used by the Meson build.
  These are processed by Meson, which will turn #mesondefine
  statements into #define / #undef depending on build
  configuration.

- scripts/extract_freetype_version.py: A script invoked by
  meson.build to extract the FreeType version number from
  <freetype/freetype.h>

- scripts/extract_libtool_version.py: A script invoked by
  meson.build to extract the libtool revision_info from
  builds/unix/configure.raw and generate the corresponding
  shared library suffix.

- scripts/generate_reference_docs.py: A script invoked
  by meson.build to generate the FreeType 2 reference
  documentation (using the docwriter / mkdocs packages
  which must be installed previously).

Example usage:

  # Configure Meson build to generate release binaries comparable to
  # to the ones from the autotools/make build system.
  meson setup build-meson --prefix=/ --buildtype=release --optimization=2 --strip

  # Build and install to /tmp/aa/, this includes a pkg-config file.
  DESTDIR=/tmp/aa ninja -C build-meson install

  # Generate documentation under build-meson/docs
  ninja -C build-meson docs

Library size comparison for stripped libfreetype.so generated
by all three build systems:

  - Default build (autotools + libtool): 712 KiB
  - CMake build (RelWithDebInfo):        712 KiB
  - Meson build:                         784 KiB

+   *
+   * This file contains the default configuration macro definitions for a
+   * standard build of the FreeType library.  There are three ways to use
+   * this file to build project-specific versions of the library:
+   *
+   * - You can modify this file by hand, but this is not recommended in
+   *   cases where you would like to build several versions of the library
+   *   from a single source directory.
+   *
+   * - You can put a copy of this file in your build directory, more
+   *   precisely in `$BUILD/freetype/config/ftoption.h`, where `$BUILD` is
+   *   the name of a directory that is included _before_ the FreeType include
+   *   path during compilation.
+   *
+   *   The default FreeType Makefiles and Jamfiles use the build directory
+   *   `builds/<system>` by default, but you can easily change that for your
+   *   own projects.
+   *
+   * - Copy the file <ft2build.h> to `$BUILD/ft2build.h` and modify it
+   *   slightly to pre-define the macro `FT_CONFIG_OPTIONS_H` used to locate
+   *   this file during the build.  For example,
+   *
+   *   ```
+   *     #define FT_CONFIG_OPTIONS_H  <myftoptions.h>
+   *     #include <freetype/config/ftheader.h>
+   *   ```
+   *
+   *   will use `$BUILD/myftoptions.h` instead of this file for macro
+   *   definitions.
+   *
+   *   Note also that you can similarly pre-define the macro
+   *   `FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H` used to locate the file listing of the modules
+   *   that are statically linked to the library at compile time.  By
+   *   default, this file is `<freetype/config/ftmodule.h>`.
+   *
+   * We highly recommend using the third method whenever possible.

+   *
+   * In particular, it modifies the bytecode interpreter to interpret (or

+   * they do in a Windows ClearType (DirectWrite) environment.  See [1] for a
+   * technical overview on what this means.  See `ttinterp.h` for more
+   * details on the LEAN option.
+   *
+   * There are three possible values.
+   *
+   * Value 1:
+   *   This value is associated with the 'Infinality' moniker, contributed by
+   *   an individual nicknamed Infinality with the goal of making TrueType
+   *   fonts render better than on Windows.  A high amount of configurability
+   *   and flexibility, down to rules for single glyphs in fonts, but also
+   *   very slow.  Its experimental and slow nature and the original
+   *   developer losing interest meant that this option was never enabled in
+   *   default builds.
+   *
+   *   The corresponding interpreter version is v38.
+   *
+   * Value 2:
+   *   The new default mode for the TrueType driver.  The Infinality code
+   *   base was stripped to the bare minimum and all configurability removed
+   *   in the name of speed and simplicity.  The configurability was mainly
+   *   aimed at legacy fonts like 'Arial', 'Times New Roman', or 'Courier'.
+   *   Legacy fonts are fonts that modify vertical stems to achieve clean
+   *   black-and-white bitmaps.  The new mode focuses on applying a minimal
+   *   set of rules to all fonts indiscriminately so that modern and web
+   *   fonts render well while legacy fonts render okay.
+   *
+   *   The corresponding interpreter version is v40.
+   *
+   * Value 3:
+   *   Compile both, making both v38 and v40 available (the latter is the
+   *   default).
+   *
+   * By undefining these, you get rendering behavior like on Windows without
+   * ClearType, i.e., Windows XP without ClearType enabled and Win9x
+   * (interpreter version v35).  Or not, depending on how much hinting blood
+   * and testing tears the font designer put into a given font.  If you
+   * define one or both subpixel hinting options, you can switch between
+   * between v35 and the ones you define (using `FT_Property_Set`).
+   *
+   * This option requires `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER` to be
+   * defined.
