| On Linux, install the development packages for FreeType, |
| Cairo, and GLib. For example, on Ubuntu / Debian, you would do: |
| |
| sudo apt-get install meson pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev |
| |
| whereas on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and other Red Hat based systems you would do: |
| |
| sudo dnf install meson pkgconfig gtk-doc gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-dev |
| |
| and on ArchLinux and Manjaro: |
| |
| sudo pacman -Suy meson pkg-config ragel gcc freetype2 glib2 cairo |
| |
| then use meson to build the project like `meson build && meson test -Cbuild`. |
| |
| On macOS, `brew install pkg-config ragel gtk-doc freetype glib cairo meson` then use |
| meson like above. |
| |
| On Windows, meson can build the project like above if a working MSVC's cl.exe (`vcvarsall.bat`) |
| or gcc/clang is already on your path, and if you use something like `meson build --wrap-mode=default` |
| it fetches and compiles most of the dependencies also. |
| |
| Our CI configurations is also a good source of learning how to build HarfBuzz. |
| |
| There is also amalgam source provided with HarfBuzz which reduces whole process of building |
| HarfBuzz like `g++ src/harfbuzz.cc -fno-exceptions` but there is not guarantee provided |
| with buildability and reliability of features you get. |
