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 Windows, consider using [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg),
9provided by Microsoft, for building HarfBuzz and other open-source libraries
10but if you need to build harfbuzz from source, put ragel binary on your
11PATH and follow appveyor CI's cmake
12[build steps](https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/master/appveyor.yml).
13
14on macOS, using MacPorts:
15* sudo port install freetype glib2 cairo
16
17or using Homebrew:
18* brew install freetype glib cairo
19
20If you are using a tarball, you can now proceed to running configure and make
21as with any other standard package. That should leave you with a shared
22library in src/, and a few utility programs including hb-view and hb-shape
23under util/.
24If you are bootstraping from git, you need a few more tools before you can
25run autogen.sh for the first time. Namely, pkg-config and ragel. Again,
26on Ubuntu / Debian:
27* sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools
28
29and on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS:
30* sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc
31
32on the Mac, using MacPorts:
33* sudo port install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc
34
35or using Homebrew:
36* brew install autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc
37
38To build the Python bindings, you also need:
39
40* brew install pygobject3
