[HarfBuzz] Cross-compiling HarfBuzz for ios

[Anita Hui]

Oh, so do you mean that I would need to link the executable with libharfbuzz.a to use libicu-le-hb.a to replace libicule.a? 

Or that I need to have HarfBuzz on my system in order to build libicu-le-hb.a, which I can then use as a replacement for libicule.a without having to link the executable with libharfbuzz.a?

Yes, as long as by "standalone" you mean "only needs harfbuzz". :)

Does this mean that I need to have ICU in order to build libharfbuzz-icu.a? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm guessing that I need libharfbuzz-icu.a with libicu-le-hb.a in order to replace libicule.a.
