+The makefile.os4 is for the AmigaOS4 SDK. To use it, type
+"make -f makefile.os4", it produces a link library libft2_ppc.a.
+
+The makefile is for ppc-morphos-gcc-2.95.3-bin.tgz (gcc 2.95.3 hosted on
+68k-Amiga producing MorphOS-PPC-binaries from http://www.morphos.de).
+To use it, type "make assign", then "make"; it produces a link library
+libft2_ppc.a.
+
+The smakefile is a makefile for Amiga SAS/C 6.58 (no longer available,
+latest sold version was 6.50, updates can be found in Aminet). It is
+based on the version found in the sourcecode of ttf.library 0.83b for
+FreeType 1.3.1 from Richard Griffith (ragriffi@sprynet.com,
+http://ragriffi.home.sprynet.com).
+
+You will also need the latest include files and amiga.lib from the
+Amiga web site (http://www.amiga.com/3.9/download/NDK3.9.lha) for
+AmigaOS 3.9; the generated code should work under AmigaOS 2.04 and up.
+
+To use it, call "smake assign" and then "smake" from the builds/amiga
+directory. The results are:
+
+- A link library "ft2_680x0.lib" (where x depends on the setting of
+ the CPU entry in the smakefile) containing all FreeType2 parts
+ except of the init code, debugging code, and the system interface
+ code.
+
+- ftsystem.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
+ system interface code which uses fopen() fclose() fread() fseek()
+ ftell() malloc() realloc() and free() from lib:sc.lib (not pure).
+
+- ftsystempure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
+ system interface code which uses Open() Close() Read() Seek()
+ ExamineFH() AsmAllocPooled() AsmFreePooled() etc. This version can
+ be used in both normal programs and in Amiga run-time shared system
+ librarys (can be linked with lib:libinit.o, no copying of DATA and
+ BSS hunks for each OpenLibrary() necessary). Source code is in
+ src/base/ftsystem.c.
+
+- ftdebug.o, an object module containing the standard version of the
+ debugging code which uses vprintf() and exit() (not pure).
+ Debugging can be turned on in FT:include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
+ and with FT_SetTraceLevel().
+
+- ftdebugpure.o, an object module containing the pure version of the
+ debugging code which uses KVPrintf() from lib:debug.lib and no
+ exit(). For debugging of Amiga run-time shared system libraries.
+ Source code is in src/base/ftdebug.c.
+
+- NO ftinit.o. Because linking with a link library should result in
+ linking only the needed object modules in it, but standard
+ ftsystem.o would force ALL FreeType2 modules to be linked to your
+ program, I decided to use a different scheme: You must #include
+ FT:src/base/ftinit.c in your sourcecode and specify with #define
+ statements which modules you need. See
+ include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h.
+
+
+To use in your own programs:
+
+- Insert the #define and #include statements from top of
+ include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h in your source code and uncomment
+ the #define statements for the FreeType2 modules you need.
+
+- You can use either PARAMETERS=REGISTER or PARAMETERS=STACK for
+ calling the FreeType2 functions, because the link library and the
+ object files are compiled with PARAMETERS=BOTH.
+
+- "smake assign" (assign "FT:" to the FreeType2 main directory).
+
+- Compile your program.
+
+- Link with either ftsystem.o or ftsystempure.o, if debugging enabled
+ with either ftdebug.o or (ftdebugpure.o and lib:debug.lib), and with
+ ft2_680x0.lib as link library.
+
+
+To adapt to other compilers:
+
+- The standard ANSI C maximum length of 31 significant characters in
+ identifiers is not enough for FreeType2. Check if your compiler has
+ a minimum length of 40 significant characters or can be switched to
+ it. "idlen=40" is the option for SAS/C. Setting #define
+ HAVE_LIMIT_ON_IDENTS in an include file may also work (not tested).
+
+- Make sure that the include directory in builds/amiga is searched
+ before the normal FreeType2 include directory, so you are able to
+ replace problematic include files with your own version (same may be
+ useful for the src directory).
+
+- An example of how to replace/workaround a problematic include file
+ is include/config/ftconfig.h; it changes a #define that would
+ prevent SAS/C from generating XDEF's where it should do that and
+ then includes the standard FreeType2 include file.
