If we want to support a build with exception handling and RTTI
We should reflect that on library(..., link_language: 'c') also so for
now it is ok to just set it here to get MSVC support also and we
can remove hard coded flags later upon request.
One other concern over just relying on it is on when harfbuzz is used
as a subproject and the parent project hasn't provided the same options,
that should be resolved first I think.
Closes#2584
It was put there as current situation of autotools but msys2 is ok
with the flag, if something like is needed for other it can handled
as a local patch.
meson documentations sometimes adds the space and sometimes don't and we
aren't adding it most of the times unconsciously so let's the cases and
be consistent.
'disabled' wasn't implemented for some of the features so they were
getting found even with explicit -Dfeature=disabled, this implements it.
Run the following command to test this change and check whether 'disabled'
was actually effective,
meson build -Dglib=disabled -Dgobject=disabled -Dcairo=disabled -Dfontconfig=disabled -Dicu=disabled -Dfreetype=disabled -Dintrospection=disabled -Dgtk_doc=disabled
This is useful when one wants to integrate harfbuzz into another project via
meson's subproject mechanism.
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
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.
