Instructions for building HarfBuzz on Visual Studio
|
|
===================================================
|
|
Building the HarfBuzz DLL on Windows is now also supported using Visual Studio
|
|
versions 2008 through 2015, in both 32-bit and 64-bit (x64) flavors, via NMake
|
|
Makefiles.
|
|
|
|
The following are instructions for performing such a build, as there is a
|
|
number of build configurations supported for the build. Note that for all
|
|
build configurations, the OpenType and Simple TrueType layout (fallback)
|
|
backends are enabled, as well as the Uniscribe platform shaper, and this
|
|
is the base configuration that is built if no options (see below) are
|
|
specified. A 'clean' target is provided-it is recommended that one cleans
|
|
the build and redo the build if any configuration option changed. An
|
|
'install' target is also provided to copy the built items in their appropriate
|
|
locations under $(PREFIX), which is described below.
|
|
|
|
Invoke the build by issuing the command:
|
|
nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=[release|debug] [PREFIX=...] <option1=1 option2=1 ...>
|
|
where:
|
|
|
|
CFG: Required. Choose from a release or debug build. Note that
|
|
all builds generate a .pdb file for each .dll and .exe built--this refers
|
|
to the C/C++ runtime that the build uses.
|
|
|
|
PREFIX: Optional. Base directory of where the third-party headers, libraries
|
|
and needed tools can be found, i.e. headers in $(PREFIX)\include,
|
|
libraries in $(PREFIX)\lib and tools in $(PREFIX)\bin. If not
|
|
specified, $(PREFIX) is set as $(srcroot)\..\vs$(X)\$(platform), where
|
|
$(platform) is win32 for 32-bit builds or x64 for 64-bit builds, and
|
|
$(X) is the short version of the Visual Studio used, as follows:
|
|
2008: 9
|
|
2010: 10
|
|
2012: 11
|
|
2013: 12
|
|
2015: 14
|
|
|
|
Explanation of options, set by <option>=1:
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
GLIB: Enable GLib support in HarfBuzz, which also uses the GLib unicode
|
|
callback instead of the bundled UCDN unicode callback. This requires the
|
|
GLib libraries, and is required for building all tool and test programs.
|
|
|
|
GOBJECT: Enable building the HarfBuzz-GObject DLL, and thus implies GLib
|
|
support. This requires the GObject libraries and glib-mkenums script,
|
|
along with PERL to generate the enum sources and headers, which is
|
|
required for the build.
|
|
|
|
INTROSPECTION: Enable build of introspection files, for making HarfBuzz
|
|
bindings for other programming languages available, such as
|
|
Python, available. This requires the GObject-Introspection
|
|
libraries and tools, along with the Python interpretor that was
|
|
used during the build of GObject-Introspection. Please see
|
|
$(srcroot)\README.python for more related details. This implies
|
|
the build of the HarfBuzz-GObject DLL, along with GLib support.
|
|
|
|
FREETYPE: Enable the FreeType font callbacks. Requires the FreeType2 library.
|
|
|
|
CAIRO: Enable Cairo support. Requires the Cairo library.
|
|
|
|
CAIRO_FT: Enable the build of the hb-view tool, which makes use of Cairo, and
|
|
thus implies FreeType font callback support and Cairo support.
|
|
Requires Cairo libraries built with FreeType support. Note that the
|
|
hb-view tool requires GLib support as well.
|
|
|
|
GRAPHITE2: Enable the Graphite2 shaper, requires the SIL Graphite2 library.
|
|
|
|
ICU: Enables the build HarfBuzz-ICU, which is now the recommended layout engine
|
|
for ICU (International Components for Unicode), which deprecated ICU LE.
|
|
Requires the ICU libraries.
|
|
|
|
DIRECTWRITE: Enable (experimental) DirectWrite platform shaper support,
|
|
requires a rather recent Windows SDK, and at least Windows Vista/
|
|
Server 2008 with SP2 and platform update.
|
|
|
|
PYTHON: Full path to the Python interpretor to be used, if it is not in %PATH%.
|
|
|
|
PERL: Full path to the PERL interpretor to be used, if it is not in %PATH%.
|
|
|
|
LIBTOOL_DLL_NAME: Enable libtool-style DLL names. |
