1 On Linux, install the development packages for 2 [FreeType](http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/FreeType/), 3 Cairo, and GLib. For example, on Ubuntu / Debian, you would do: 4 * sudo apt-get install gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev 5 6 whereas on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and other Red Hat based systems you would do: 7 * sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel 8 9 on the Mac, using MacPorts: 10 * sudo port install freetype glib2 cairo 11 12 or using Homebrew: 13 * brew install freetype glib cairo 14 15 If you are using a tarball, you can now proceed to running configure and make 16 as with any other standard package. That should leave you with a shared 17 library in src/, and a few utility programs including hb-view and hb-shape 18 under util/. From the tarball, NMake Makefiles are also provided in win32/, 19 which supports building HarfBuzz using Visual Studio, with a README.txt that 20 gives instructions on building using NMake. 21 If you are bootstraping from git, you need a few more tools before you can 22 run autogen.sh for the first time. Namely, pkg-config and ragel. Again, 23 on Ubuntu / Debian: 24 * sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools 25 26 and on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS: 27 * sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 28 29 on the Mac, using MacPorts: 30 * sudo port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 31 32 or using Homebrew: 33 * brew port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 34
