Hi Adrien,
There is one important aspect of this project I think it is not
great to let students figure out: Harfbuzz will not build with gcc2.
What is the plan? Is it time to switch app_server to gcc7even in 32
bit builds?
I am not very sure, whether I understand you or not, besides I am not
fully aware of Haiku builds and infrastructure yet..but if got you well,
that means that Haiku x32 is built with an older version of gcc; in that
case it may be the time to unify both releases to use the same version
of the compiler.
I do not think that Haiku is in a rush as I had a look at it a few years
ago.
My suggestion is to get a solid base with a look onto the future.
I think there might be another solution even: Harfbuzz is C only, no?
Does this mean we could "clone" the x86 package as x86_ggc2? This used
to be possible, but maybe there is a reason meanwhile why this is no
longer true?
In any case, switching app_server to always be x86 is certainly another
option that we have.
Best regards,

No, unfortunately it is C++ and so are some of its dependencies. Otherwise
yes, this would have worked as we did for ffmpeg.
So, it is C++. Now how and where font is rendered in the system?
app_server?!
It might be a huge task to integrate Harfbuzz and it certainly needs a
good planning.
Once again; if Haiku is there to be, I would suggest to have the basic
things well done and do not rush releases.
I am going to read more about Haiku, how to build it locally and
whatever information I can find about the system development, but nice
helpful hints from Haiku gurus is very appreciated.
