@ -20,22 +20,8 @@ On Windows, meson can build the project like above if a working MSVC's cl.exe (`
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.
Our CI is also good source of learning how to build HarfBuzz.
Linux packagers are advised to at least use `--buildtype=release` (or any other way
to enable regular compiler optimization) and `-Dauto_features=enabled --wrap-mode=nodownload`
and install any other needed packages (most distributions build harfbuzz with
graphite support which needs to be enabled separately, `-Dgraphite=enabled`),
and follow other best practices of packaging a meson project.
Examples of meson built harfbuzz packages,
