Hi all,
I've noticed that the harfbuzz package is not available for x86_gcc2. I
looked into the Haikuports recipe and the patchset. This question is
probably mostly for Korli: What are the prospects of getting harfbuzz
compiled for GCC2? Have you looked into it much?
Also, why the dependency to graphite2? I got the impression that
graphite2 provides an alternative shaper? And what about the glib support?
If we want text shaping support in app_server, we would need a GCC2
build, and since harfbuzz would become a build requirement for Haiku, my
impression is it should be a minimal version tied in only with ICU and
freetype which are already a requirement.
Opinions, ideas? :-)
Best regards,
-Stephan
