FreeType Build

version: 2.4.1
source: FreeType Project
framework: Unix Compatibility Frameworks, also includes build script

parallel: OK

For starters, configure some options manually by editing include/freetype/config/ftoption.h in the source. Find the lines for these settings and define them as follows: 

#define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_INCREMENTAL
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_COMPONENT_OFFSET_SCALED
#undef FT_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_INTERNALS

As of v2.4, the TrueType patents have expired, and TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER is enabled by default.
