+How to customize the compilation of the library
+===============================================
+
+ FreeType is highly customizable to fit various needs, and this
+ document describes how it is possible to select options and
+ components at compilation time.
+
+
+I. Configuration macros
+
+ The file found in `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h' contains a
+ list of commented configuration macros that can be toggled by
+ developers to indicate which features should be active while
+ building the library.
+
+ These options range from debug level to availability of certain
+ features, like native TrueType hinting through a bytecode
+ interpreter.
+
+ We invite you to read this file for more information. You can
+ change the file's content to suit your needs, or override it with
+ one of the techniques described below.
+
+
+II. Modules list
+
+ If you use GNU make please edit the top-level file `modules.cfg'.
+ It contains a list of available FreeType modules and extensions to
+ be compiled. Change it to suit your own preferences. Be aware that
+ certain modules depend on others, as described in the file. GNU
+ make uses `modules.cfg' to generate `ftmodule.h' (in the object
+ directory).
+
+ If you don't use GNU make you have to manually edit the file
+ `include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h' (which is *not* used with if
+ compiled with GNU make) to add or remove the drivers and components
+ you want to compile into the library. See `INSTALL.ANY' for more
+ information.
+
+
+III. System interface
+
+ FreeType's default interface to the system (i.e., the parts that
+ deal with memory management and i/o streams) is located in
+ `src/base/ftsystem.c'.
+
+ The current implementation uses standard C library calls to manage
+ memory and to read font files. It is however possible to write
+ custom implementations to suit specific systems.
+
+ To tell the GNU Make-based build system to use a custom system
+ interface, you have to define the environment variable FTSYS_SRC to
+ point to the relevant implementation:
+
+ on Unix:
+
+ ./configure <your options>
+ export FTSYS_SRC=foo/my_ftsystem.c
+ make
+ make install
+
+ on Windows:
+
+ make setup <compiler>
+ set FTSYS_SRC=foo/my_ftsystem.c
+ make
+
+
+IV. Overriding default configuration and module headers
+
+ It is possible to override the default configuration and module
+ headers without changing the original files. There are three ways
+ to do that:
+
+
+ 1. With GNU make
+
+ [This is actually a combination of method 2 and 3.]
+
+ Just put your custom `ftoption.h' file into the objects directory
+ (normally `<topdir>/objs'), which GNU make prefers over the
+ standard location. No action is needed for `ftmodule.h' because
+ it is generated automatically in the objects directory.
+
+
+ 2. Using the C include path
+
+ Use the C include path to ensure that your own versions of the
+ files are used at compile time when the lines
+
+ #include FT_CONFIG_OPTIONS_H
+ #include FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H
+
+ are compiled. Their default values being
+ <freetype/config/ftoption.h> and <freetype/config/ftmodule.h>, you
+ can do something like:
+
+ custom/
+ freetype/
+ config/
+ ftoption.h => custom options header
+ ftmodule.h => custom modules list
+
+ include/ => normal FreeType 2 include
+ freetype/
+ ...
+
+ then change the C include path to always give the path to `custom'
+ before the FreeType 2 `include'.
+
+
+ 3. Redefining FT_CONFIG_OPTIONS_H and FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H
+
+ Another way to do the same thing is to redefine the macros used to
+ name the configuration headers. To do so, you need a custom
+ `ft2build.h' whose content can be as simple as:
+
+ #ifndef __FT2_BUILD_MY_PLATFORM_H__
+ #define __FT2_BUILD_MY_PLATFORM_H__
+
+ #define FT_CONFIG_OPTIONS_H <custom/my-ftoption.h>
+ #define FT_CONFIG_MODULES_H <custom/my-ftmodule.h>
+
+ #include <freetype/config/ftheader.h>
+
+ #endif /* __FT2_BUILD_MY_PLATFORM_H__ */
+
+ Place those files in a separate directory, e.g.,
+
+ custom/
+ ft2build.h => custom version described above
+ my-ftoption.h => custom options header
+ my-ftmodule.h => custom modules list header
+
+ and change the C include path to ensure that `custom' is always
+ placed before the FT2 `include' during compilation.
