I cross compile freetype from linux too, for both win32/win64 and darwin (mac os X). Every few months. It is not that hard, once you set it up to scriptable once. For Mac OS X, I chose not to have harfbuzz as I don't strictly speaking need the extra functionality it offers (currently). For win32/win64, as I outlined, the dynamic freetype dll is linked to a static harfbuzz. What I found tricky is not harfbuzz itself, but what it brings along: - glib, iconv, etc. You need to choose which you want to disable to avoid the maintance/upgrade burden. I actually don't build harfbuzz itself, but just take the win32/win64 binaries what fedora offers. I choose not to bother but keep notes on which binary release packages my freetype was built against. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
