Hi Andreas,

noticed that remark just now:

gcc-12 to build internal python certainly should work, gcc-12 is used
on baseline builders and those in parts also built with fully-internal
python on linux, but regardless:

There should be no fundamental incompatibility, more a matter of not
telling the build which meson to use and how to call it.
If you add MESON=/how/meson/should/be/called to your autogen.input it
will use that as-is and not try to run it with the python used during
the LibreOffice build, and harfbuzz is fine with old versions of meson
still, so if you run into an incompatibility with meson even after
adding
"MESION=meson" (if meson is in your path and you want to use that) or
"MESON=/some/custom/path", I'd love to see the logs for that.

Nope.. (and using a python venv to build surely shouldn't be
necessary, using system-python on linux for the build-side should be
perfectly fine and not conflict with meson using a different python,
given that the build is configured in a non-conflicting way)

ciao
