| Behdad Esfahbod | 31d48dd | 2015-01-21 01:57:44 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure |
| Behdad Esfahbod | c60f3c8 | 2015-05-04 23:10:32 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu, |
| 3 | you can install that this way: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev |
| 6 | |
| 7 | And then run autogen.sh (if building from git), and then: |
| Behdad Esfahbod | 31d48dd | 2015-01-21 01:57:44 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 8 | |
| 9 | ./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Make sure that gobject-introspection is enabled then in the final report. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Compile and install. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Make sure you have the installation lib dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as needed |
| 16 | for the linker to find the library. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Then make sure you also have GI_TYPELIB_PATH pointing to the resulting |
| 19 | $prefix/lib/girepository-* directory. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following |
| 22 | import works in your Python interpretter: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | from gi.repository import HarfBuzz |
| 25 | |
| 26 | If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. |
| 27 | See src/sample.py. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are |
| 30 | using it, and send lots of feedback. |
