This was done in #770 but no indication of anyone is using it,
let's remove it from our meson port and we can just don't care about
it in autotools port after the migration to meson.
Meson doesn't have DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS like concept IIUC
and enabling them is the main thing we are doing with
distcheck flags anyway so lets turn them to auto.
Instead of passing dependencies as required we used one giant shared
dependency list containing all dependencies for every library/executable.
While this kinda works, the specified deps are also used for generating
the pkg-config files and this leads to lots of Requires.private and Libs.private
entries which aren't really needed.
This removes the "deps" array and replaces it with a few smaller ones and
makes sure the public libraries only get passed the dependencies actually
needed.
Fixes#2441
ptem, used for AAT's tracking/`trak` table is equivalent to opsz of variable fonts.
For variable AAT fonts, such as SFNS, ideally variable axis of the hb_font_t
should be set and equivalent to ptem, https://crbug.com/1005969#c37
Searches variation axes of a hb_font_t object for a specific axis first,
if not set, then tries to get default style values from different
tables of the font.
Apparently the previous version of gtk-doc was doing weird changes like 1b40da99bb and d1d9bff14c
in order to make every to have something for pushing and
now that we don't have such changes it will fail.
Alternatively we can go for `git commit --allow-empty`, guess better to
pollute history of https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz.github.io however.
As a part of meson migration, this builds hb-shape dependencies
using meson subprojects and removes different unrelated mingw
files we've put on source root about things that aren't really our
concern. This also simplifies all the instructions we've put in
README.mingw.md and makes it easy to build the project on
distros that no mingw libraries (such i686-win32-{freetype,glib,...}
are packaged. The known catch is however lack of hb-view as its need
for build of cairo which apparently isn't that straightforward.
So one can run a category of interested tests like
meson test -Cbuild --suite aots --suite src --print-errorlogs
Intead issuing particular tests which also is possible like
meson test -Cbuild test-shape --print-errorlogs
This way it won't ruin incremental builds.
We need a better way to declare source altering tasks
https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/7156
yet this is good enough despite being not idiomatic.
It is however not that smooth yet as the change may is detected on the
next meson run. One of course can issue ./gen-ragel-artifacts.py
manually for better experience before running meson.
