Yes, the chicken-and-egg problem is unfortunate. Behdad told me he is going to split HarfBuzz into two libraries (or something like that) to avoid this issue. For the moment, please do ./configure --without-harfbuzz then build and install FreeType. Then build and install HarfBuzz, then for FreeType do make distclean ./configure and build and install FreeType again. Please test the current git of FreeType; I've completely rewritten the library detection to use only what gets detected. In other words, simply doing . configure, build, install FreeType . configure, build, install HarfBuzz . `make distclean', then again configure, build, install FreeType should work now without any additional configure options. Of course, the chicken-and-egg situation is still there. Nice try, but fail:

This is not enough information to find out why the HarfBuzz test was (apparently incorrectly) successful at configure time. What are the configure options, and what does config.log say about harfbuzz? Created attachment 95133 [details]
Config.log from failed build
Configure correctly determined that harfbuzz shouldn't be built, probably because it got the --without-harfbuzz parameter. Jam tried to build it anyway.
This was, by the way, a clean checkout and build.
Thanks. It was a typo. Fixed now in git. OK, that works, thanks. One oddity: make distclean && ./configure --prefix /Users/john/Development/gtk-build/gtk-unstable-10.9-i386/inst --libdir '/Users/john/Development/gtk-build/gtk-unstable-10.9-i386/inst/lib' --without-bzip2 CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std=c99" rm -f builds/unix/config.cache rm -f builds/unix/config.log rm -f builds/unix/config.status rm -f builds/unix/unix-def.mk rm -f builds/unix/unix-cc.mk rm -f builds/unix/freetype2.pc rm -f nul FreeType build system -- automatic system detection The following settings are used: platform unix compiler /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/gcc configuration directory ./builds/unix configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help. Otherwise, simply type `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make' again to build the library, or `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python).

Perhaps the distclean target is removing a little too much? I can't repeat your problem with `configure'. Doing `make distclean' after a build on a Mac OS X platform doesn't delete it. |

Freetype requires Harfbuzz's freetype backend, but Harfbuzz needs Freetype to build the Harfbuzz backend. Freetype checks pkgconfig for Harfbuzz during configure and fails if it's not present. Building Harfbuzz first works, except that building Freetype fails with: In file included from /Users/john/Development/gtk-sources/freetype2/src/autofit/autofit.c:21: In file included from /Users/john/Development/gtk-sources/freetype2/src/autofit/afpic.c:23: In file included from /Users/john/Development/gtk-sources/freetype2/src/autofit/afglobal.h:26: /Users/john/Development/gtk-sources/freetype2/src/autofit/hbshim.h:31:10: fatal error: 'hb-ft.h' file not found #include <hb-ft.h> ^ 1 error generated. make: *** [/Users/john/Development/gtk-sources/freetype2/objs/autofit.lo] Error 1
