如何在没有依赖的情况下构建 harfbuzz

Question

I want build latest harfbuzz-ng library on Windows 7. But in build system by default I must go through long quest to gain: ragel , pkg-config , gtkdocize and other stuff. Even in the end if I get all what need for build system I get errors (sorry cannot say which concrete errors), last time I tried to build this library 2 month ago). Maybe on Linux system it is easy to get and build all this stuff but on Windows always something doesn't want to be compiled. Or the problem is that I don't find instructions which guide me on Windows, only Linux.

What I want to get is simple instructions how build only harfbuzz-ng with freetype dependency (and maybe add ICU ) by MinGW compiler on Windows.

Thanks you very much.

Answer 1

对于阅读本文的任何人，请查看项目中的 harfbuzz.cc，它使您能够在没有任何构建系统的情况下使用 harfbuzz，只需将其包含在您的源之一中，不需要构建系统，定义 HB_NO_MT 甚至 HB_TINY（它带来最小的 harfbuzz）如果您不在多线程模式下使用 harfbuzz。

Answer 2

I don't know i this is the answer you are looking for. I am trying to work with Harfbuzz as well and did this through several attempts which did not work out for various reasons .

One (old) example you could use as a starter is: HarfBuzz static lib . The .lib-file generated works with UCDN and just needs this file plus a source for the Freetype-functions to provide the necessary FT_Face-parameter (i did this by compiling another .lib via the freetype-sourcecode (freetype.org/download.html).

But I am unsure if this will work out for the MinGW-compiler (you don't use VC++ as IDE do you??).

You may find of interest the MSYS2 build system. It is essentially a linux-style packaging system built on top of Windows(TM). You can download and install binary packages with simple commands (including automatic dependency solving). If you want to download a source package you can do that as well. http://msys2.github.io
