| To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure |
| you have latest version of gobject-introspection compiled, and then |
| run autogen.sh (if building from git), and then: |
| |
| ./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection |
| |
| Make sure that gobject-introspection is enabled then in the final report. |
| |
| Compile and install. |
| |
| Make sure you have the installation lib dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, as needed |
| for the linker to find the library. |
| |
| Then make sure you also have GI_TYPELIB_PATH pointing to the resulting |
| $prefix/lib/girepository-* directory. |
| |
| Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following |
| import works in your Python interpretter: |
| |
| from gi.repository import HarfBuzz |
| |
| If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. |
| See src/sample.py. |
| |
| The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are |
| using it, and send lots of feedback. |
