*> IMHO it's not worth that you examine this in more detail**.* Ok... *> No idea. What exactly are you interested in?* I have tested the changes on OS X using Autotools i.e by using: *sh autogen.sh* *./configure* *make* I know FreeType mainly uses Autotools for building purposes and here I wanted to ask that other than Autotools are there some other tools with which I need to build FreeType and test the changes on OS X?
