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 reported enabled then in the `configure` script output. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
See [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py). |
|
|
|
The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are |
|
using it, and send lots of feedback.
