As far as I remember it only works if you build from a released tarball. If you have cloned harfbuzz from git, you probably need to first make a new source distribution and then try to build from there. Hope this helps, Cheers Cosimo <div class="gmail_quote">On 13 Jun 2016 8:53 a.m., "Juha Martikainen" <<a href="mailto:juha.martikainen@anygraaf.fi">juha.martikainen@anygraaf.fi</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hello! I am working with Windows 10 system and Visual Studio 2012 compiler. I would like to compile harfbuzz library for Scribus. I have taken the new harfbuzz codes with git. I have read win32 directory readme file instructions and try to configure project using nmake. I run the following nmake command(in win32 directory): nmake /f Makefile.vc CFG=release /P Resulting: NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'config.h.win32' Stop.
