For systems that dont support dlopen() and only support static linking, the Amiga build can be used as example. It builds a libft2.a with all modules and contains a ftmodule.h file that starts like /* * To avoid that all your programs include all FreeType modules, * you copy the following piece of source code into your own * source file and specify which modules you really need in your * application by uncommenting the appropriate lines. */ /* //#define FT_USE_AUTOFIT // autofitter //#define FT_USE_RASTER // monochrome rasterizer //#define FT_USE_SMOOTH // anti-aliasing rasterizer //#define FT_USE_TT // truetype font driver //#define FT_USE_T1 // type1 font driver //#define FT_USE_T42 // type42 font driver //#define FT_USE_T1CID // cid-keyed type1 font driver // no cmap support //#define FT_USE_CFF // opentype font driver //#define FT_USE_BDF // bdf bitmap font driver //#define FT_USE_PCF // pcf bitmap font driver //#define FT_USE_PFR // pfr font driver //#define FT_USE_WINFNT // windows .fnt|.fon bitmap font driver //#define FT_USE_OTV // opentype validator //#define FT_USE_GXV // truetype gx validator #include "FT:src/base/ftinit.c" */ This way its possible to define at compile time which modules shall be linked from libft2.a. When not using this, all modules will be included because libft2.a contains a default version of ftinit.o/FT_Add_Default_Modules(). So when you add support for dlopen() etc and dynamic loading of modules it would be nice if thats placed in a separate file so its only an optional solution. And sorry if you already had that in mind :) Ciao, Detlef -- _ // [EMAIL PROTECTED] \X/ Detlef Wuerkner, Langgoens/Germany _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
