To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure
|
|
|
|
|
you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu,
|
|
|
|
|
you can install that this way:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And then run autogen.sh (if building from git), and then:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure that gobject-introspection is enabled then in the final report.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compile and install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have the installation lib dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as needed
|
|
|
|
|
for the linker to find the library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then make sure you also have GI_TYPELIB_PATH pointing to the resulting
|
|
|
|
|
$prefix/lib/girepository-* directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following
|
|
|
|
|
import works in your Python interpreter:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
|
|
|
from gi.repository import HarfBuzz
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations.

The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are
|
|
|
|
|
using it, and send lots of feedback.
