[HarfBuzz] Building from git on OS X with Homebrew

[Rolf Langenhuijzen]

You have to install one package at a time, and have to know the formula names (https://github.com/mbcoguno/homebrew-core/tree/master/Library/Formula)

So like James wrote (and first install Homebrew which depends on Xcode cmd line tools); I’d point to http://brew.sh for the basic information.
Some have to do stuff after running “brew doctor”, but on a clean OS you’re normally fine.

So this list from James + a little more should be fine:

(p.s. when you "brew install <packagename>" it will install dependancies, .e.g. pixman is installed for cairo)

brew install ragel
brew install automake
brew install pkg-config
brew install gtk-doc
brew install libtool
brew install libpng
brew install freetype
brew install fontconfig
brew install cairo
brew install icu4c

# Get harfbuzz
git clone https://github.com/behdad/harfbuzz.git
cd harfbuzz
./autogen.sh
make
make install

I do want to test this somehow on a super clean OSX install, but don’t have one available right now.

There is no Homebrew formula yet for graphite2, so perhaps that should be noted in the instructions and ideally you want to use only formula’s to install things. That’s why a formula for the harfbuzz git version is preferred instead of git clone.. Something like brew install icu4c is optional...
