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