1 On Linux, install the development packages for FreeType, 2 Cairo, and GLib. For example, on Ubuntu / Debian, you would do: 3 * sudo apt-get install gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev 4 5 whereas on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and other Red Hat based systems you would do: 6 * sudo yum install gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel 7 8 on the Mac, using MacPorts: 9 * sudo port install freetype glib2 cairo 10 11 or using Homebrew: 12 * brew install freetype glib cairo 13 14 If you are using a tarball, you can now proceed to running configure and make 15 as with any other standard package. That should leave you with a shared 16 library in src/, and a few utility programs including hb-view and hb-shape 17 under util/. From the tarball, NMake Makefiles are also provided in win32/, 18 which supports building HarfBuzz using Visual Studio, with a README.txt that 19 gives instructions on building using NMake. 20 If you are bootstraping from git, you need a few more tools before you can 21 run autogen.sh for the first time. Namely, pkg-config and ragel. Again, 22 on Ubuntu / Debian: 23 * sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools 24 25 and on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS: 26 * sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 27 28 on the Mac, using MacPorts: 29 * sudo port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 30 31 or using Homebrew: 32 * brew install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc 33 34 To build the Python bindings, you also need: 35 36 * brew install pygobject3 37
