[HarfBuzz] Building from github on Mac OS X

[James Clark]

Building HarfBuzz from the github repository on OS X (Mavericks) turned
into quite an involved process.  I was doing this by hand.  Next time I
would try homebrew.

Most of the complexity was caused by gtk-doc.

Anyway, here are my notes.   Unfortunately, I made these only after the
event, so I may have missed a few details.

You'll need Xcode and the command line tools for Xcode (available from
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action). You'll then need to
install the following.  Unless otherwise stated, use "./configure; make;
sudo make install".

* Automake and friends (needed by harfbuzz)

http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/autoconf/autoconf-2.69.tar.gz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/automake/automake-1.14.tar.gz
http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libtool/libtool-2.4.2.tar.gz

* pkg-config (needed by harfbuzz)

http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz

Configure with --with-internal-glib

* Ragel (needed by harfbuzz)

http://www.complang.org/ragel/ragel-6.8.tar.gz

* ITS Tool (needed by gtk-doc)

http://files.itstool.org/itstool/itstool-1.2.0.tar.bz2

* XZ utils (needed to unpack gtk-doc)

http://tukaani.org/xz/xz-5.0.5.tar.gz

* Python libxml2 module (needed by itstool)

Download and unpack

http://xmlsoft.org/sources/libxml2-2.9.1.tar.gz

cd to the the python/ subdirectory and do

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

* DocBook (needed by gtk-doc):

Unpack

http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.3/docbook-xml-4.3.zip

into say /usr/local/share/docbook/dtd

Unpack

http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/files/docbook-xsl/1.78.1/docbook-xsl-1.78.1.zip/download

and rename to /usr/local/share/docbook/xsl

Create a /usr/local/share/docbook/catalog.xml containing:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<catalog xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:entity:xmlns:xml:catalog">
<nextCatalog catalog="dtd/catalog.xml"/>
<nextCatalog catalog="xsl/catalog.xml"/>
</catalog>

* gettext-tools (needed by gtk-doc)

Configure and make gettext (but don't install it):

http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.18.3.1.tar.gz

Add gettext-0.18.3.1/gettext-tools to your PATH while making gtk-doc.

* gtk-doc (needed by harfbuzz)

Download:

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk-doc/1.19/gtk-doc-1.19.tar.xz

Unpack with xzcat gtk-doc-1.19.tar.xz | tar xf -

Configure with

./configure --with-xml-catalog=/usr/local/share/docbook/catalog.xml

Then make and install.

* HarfBuzz

Finally do

./autogen.sh

in the harfbuzz directory.
