On Linux, install the development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib.
|
<emphasis>(1)</emphasis> To build HarfBuzz on Linux, you must first install the
|
||||||
For example, on Ubuntu / Debian, you would do:
|
development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib. The exact
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
commands required for this step will vary depending on
|
||||||
<command>sudo apt-get install</command> <package>gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev</package>
|
the Linux distribution you use.
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
whereas on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and other Red Hat based systems you would do:
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<command>sudo yum install</command> <package>gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel</package>
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
or using MacPorts:
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<command>sudo port install</command> <package>freetype glib2 cairo</package>
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
</para>
|
</para>
|
||||||
<para>
|
<para>
|
||||||
If you are using a tarball, you can now proceed to running
|
For example, on an Ubuntu or Debian system, you would run:
|
||||||
<command>configure</command> and <command>make</command> as with any
|
<programlisting>
|
||||||
other standard package. That should leave you with a shared library in
|
<command>sudo apt install</command> <package>gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev</package>
|
||||||
<filename>src/</filename>, and a few utility programs including hb-view
|
</programlisting>
|
||||||
and hb-shape under <filename>util/</filename>.
|
On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, or other Red-Hat–based systems, you would run:
|
||||||
|
<programlisting>
|
||||||
|
<command>sudo yum install</command> <package>gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel</package>
|

</programlisting>

|
|
||||||
|
</para>
|

|
|

|
<para>
|

|
<emphasis>(2)</emphasis> The next step depends on whether you
|

are building from the source in a downloaded release tarball or

from the source directly from the git repository.
|

</para>
|
</para>
|

<para>

<para>
|

If you are bootstrapping from git, you need a few more tools before you
|
<emphasis>(2)(a)</emphasis> If you downloaded the HarfBuzz
|

can run <filename>autogen.sh</filename> for the first time. Namely,
|
source code in a tarball, you can now extract the source.
|
||||||
pkg-config and <ulink url="http://www.complang.org/ragel/">ragel</ulink>.
|
|
||||||
Again, on Ubuntu / Debian:
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<command>sudo apt-get install</command> <package>autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools</package>
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
and on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS:
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<command>sudo yum install</command> <package>autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</package>
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
or using MacPorts:
|
|
||||||
<programlisting>
|
|
||||||
<command>sudo port install</command> <package>autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</package>
|
|
||||||
</programlisting>
|
|
||||||
</para>
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
From a shell in the top-level directory of the extracted source
|
||||||
|
code, you can run <command>./configure</command> followed by
|
||||||
|
<command>make</command> as with any other standard package.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
This should leave you with a shared
|
||||||
|
library in the <filename>src/</filename> directory, and a few

utility programs including <command>hb-view</command> and
|

<command>hb-shape</command> under the <filename>util/</filename>
|

directory.

</para>
|

|
<para>
|
||||||
|
<emphasis>(2)(b)</emphasis> If you are building from the source in the HarfBuzz git
|
||||||
|
repository, rather than installing from a downloaded tarball
|
||||||
|
release, then you must install two more auxiliary tools before you
|
||||||
|
can build for the first time: <package>pkg-config</package> and

On Ubuntu or Debian, run:

</para>
|

<para>

With <package>pkg-config</package> and <package>ragel</package>
|

installed, you can now run <command>./autogen.sh</command>,

On Windows, consider using Microsoft's free <ulink

There are two ways to build HarfBuzz on Mac systems: MacPorts

and Homebrew. The process is similar to the process used on a

Linux system.

<emphasis>(2)(a)</emphasis> If you are installing HarfBuzz

open a Terminal in the extracted source-code directory. Run:

<programlisting>

<command>./configure</command>

<emphasis>(2)(b)</emphasis> Alternatively, if you are building

HarfBuzz from the source in the HarfBuzz git repository, then

you must install several built-time dependencies before

proceeding.

<para>If you are

automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</package>

to install the build dependencies.

a MacPorts or a Homebrew system) by running:

<programlisting>
|

|
<command>./configure</command>
