+
+1.2. The individual modules
+---------------------------
+
+All generic libraries and many programs are maintained independently and use
+the distributed source tree, with any patches to that source tree kept as
+documentation of our changes. There are several types of proxy or wrapper
+build systems for these modules.
+
+1.2.1. A proxy build system, e.g., for libs/zlib/
+
+libs/zlib/zlib-1.2.7/ (almost) unmodified source tree
+libs/zlib/zlib-1.2.7-PATCHES/ modifications applied to that source tree
libs/zlib/Makefile.am proxy Makefile.am
libs/zlib/configure.ac and configure.ac
+In these cases the build system of the distributed source tree is ignored.
The header files for many libraries are `installed' (as symlinks) under
libs/Lib/include/ in the build tree exactly as they are for a system version
under, e.g., /usr/include/.
-The same structure is used for the TeX specific libraries.
+1.2.2. A wrapper build system, e.g., for libs/freetype2/
-1.3. A TeX specific program `Prog'
-----------------------------------
+libs/freetype2/freetype-2.4.9/ (almost) unmodified source tree
+libs/freetype2/freetype-2.4.9-PATCHES/ modifications applied to that source tree
+libs/freetype2/Makefile.am wrapper Makefile.am
+libs/freetype2/configure.ac and configure.ac
-texk/Prog/ac/withenable.ac defines libraries required by Prog,
- provides the configure option --disable-Prog
-texk/Prog/ac/Prog.ac optionally defines Prog specific configure
- option that should be seen at the top-level
+Configuring libs/freetype2/ will create the wrapper Makefile handling all
+targets except 'all'. For 'make all' this will run the configure script of
+the distribution and then run 'make all' and usually also 'make install' to
+`install' the library and headers in the build tree
-1.4. A utility program `Util'
------------------------------
+1.2.3. A mixed build system, e.g., for utils/xindy/
-utils/Util/ac/withenable.ac defines libraries required by Util, provides
- the configure option --disable-Util
+utils/xindy/xindy-2.4/ (almost) unmodified source tree
+utils/xindy/xindy-2.4-PATCHES/ modifications applied to that source tree
+utils/xindy/Makefile.am wrapper Makefile.am
+utils/xindy/configure.ac proxy configure.ac
+
+Configuring utils/xindy/ will create the wrapper Makefile and the Makefiles
+of the distribution (except the top-level one). The wrapper Makefile will
+essentially delegate all targets to the sub-Makefiles of the distribution.
+The module texk/lcdf-typetools/ is handled in the same way, this time using
+the top-level Makefile of the distribution. Both cases require that the
+Makefiles of the distribution allow a VPATH build, can handle all targets,
+and do not refer to $(top_srcdir) or $(top_builddir).
