Yes, run './configure --with-harfbuzz'.
Thanks. That worked. This time the configure detected harfbuzz and it's compiling right now.
To the Harfbuzz devs:
I have some specific notes on how to install Harfbuzz. I made these when I installed 1.0.3.
Notes::
/freetype - last downloaded version -- 2.6/
/harfbuzz - last downloaded version -- 1.0.3/
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75652freetype depends on harfbuzz and vice versa. To solve this chicken and egg
problem, do this.
1. First install freetype *without harfbuzz*
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
make distclean
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr_local/${MY_OSREV} --without-harfbuzz
make
make install
#+END_SRC
2. Then install harfbuzz
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
make distclean
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr_local/${MY_OSREV}
make
make install
#+END_SRC
3. Reinstall freetype *with harfbuzz*
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
make distclean
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr_local/${MY_OSREV}
make
make install
#+END_SRC
====
Does this harfbuzz/freetype cross-dependency still apply if trying to install the latest harfbuzz version?
