<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="building.linux"></a>Building on Linux</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>(1)</em></span> To build HarfBuzz on Linux, you must first install the
      development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib. The exact
      commands required for this step will vary depending on
      the Linux distribution you use.
    </p>
<p>
      For example, on an Ubuntu or Debian system, you would run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo apt install</strong></span> <span class="package">gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev</span>
      </pre>
<p>
      On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, or other Red-Hat–based systems, you would run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo yum install</strong></span> <span class="package">gcc gcc-c++ freetype-devel glib2-devel cairo-devel</span>
      </pre>
<p>

    </p>
<p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>(2)</em></span> The next step depends on whether you
      are building from the source in a downloaded release tarball or
      from the source directly from the git repository.
    </p>
<p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>(2)(a)</em></span> If you downloaded the HarfBuzz
      source code in a tarball, you can now extract the source.
    </p>
<p>
      From a shell in the top-level directory of the extracted source
      code, you can run <span class="command"><strong>./configure</strong></span> followed by
      <span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span> as with any other standard package.
    </p>
<p>
      This should leave you with a shared
      library in the <code class="filename">src/</code> directory, and a few
      utility programs including <span class="command"><strong>hb-view</strong></span> and
      <span class="command"><strong>hb-shape</strong></span> under the <code class="filename">util/</code>
      directory.
    </p>
<p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>(2)(b)</em></span> If you are building from the source in the HarfBuzz git
      repository, rather than installing from a downloaded tarball
      release, then you must install two more auxiliary tools before you 
      can build for the first time: <span class="package">pkg-config</span> and
      <a class="ulink" href="http://www.complang.org/ragel/" target="_top">ragel</a>.
    </p>
<p>
      On Ubuntu or Debian, run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo apt-get install</strong></span> <span class="package">autoconf automake libtool pkg-config ragel gtk-doc-tools</span>
      </pre>
<p>
      On Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo yum install</strong></span> <span class="package">autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</span>
      </pre>
<p>
      
    </p>
<p>
      With <span class="package">pkg-config</span> and <span class="package">ragel</span>
      installed, you can now run <span class="command"><strong>./autogen.sh</strong></span>,
      followed by <span class="command"><strong>./configure</strong></span> and
      <span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span> to build HarfBuzz.
    </p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="building.windows"></a>Building on Windows</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
	On Windows, consider using Microsoft's free <a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg" target="_top">vcpkg</a> utility
	to build HarfBuzz, its dependencies, and other open-source
	libraries. 
      </p>
<p>
	If you need to build HarfBuzz from source, first put the
	<span class="package">ragel</span> binary on your
	<code class="literal">PATH</code>, then follow the appveyor CI cmake
	<a class="ulink" href="https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/master/appveyor.yml" target="_top">build
	instructions</a>. 
      </p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">
<a name="building.macos"></a>Building on macOS</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
	There are two ways to build HarfBuzz on Mac systems: MacPorts
	and Homebrew. The process is similar to the process used on a
	Linux system.
      </p>
<p>
	<span class="emphasis"><em>(1)</em></span> You must first install the
	development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib. If you are
	using MacPorts, you should run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo port install</strong></span> <span class="package">freetype glib2 cairo</span>
      </pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
	If you are using Homebrew, you should run:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">	
	  <span class="command"><strong>brew install</strong></span> <span class="package">freetype glib cairo</span>
	</pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
	<span class="emphasis"><em>(2)</em></span> The next step depends on whether you are building from the
	source in a downloaded release tarball or from the source directly
	from the git repository.
      </p>
<p>
	<span class="emphasis"><em>(2)(a)</em></span> If you are installing HarfBuzz
	from a downloaded tarball release, extract the tarball and
	open a Terminal in the extracted source-code directory. Run:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	  <span class="command"><strong>./configure</strong></span>
	</pre>
<p>
	followed by:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">	
	  <span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span>
	</pre>
<p>
	to build HarfBuzz.
      </p>
<p>
	<span class="emphasis"><em>(2)(b)</em></span> Alternatively, if you are building
	HarfBuzz from the source in the HarfBuzz git repository, then
	you must install several built-time dependencies before
	proceeding.
      </p>
<p>If you are
	using MacPorts, you should run:
      </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	<span class="command"><strong>sudo port install</strong></span> <span class="package">autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</span> 
      </pre>
<p>
      to install the build dependencies.
      </p>
<p>If you are using Homebrew, you should run:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">	
	  <span class="command"><strong>brew install</strong></span> <span class="package">autoconf automake libtool pkgconfig ragel gtk-doc</span>
	</pre>
<p>
      	Finally, you can run:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	  <span class="command"><strong>./autogen.sh</strong></span>
	</pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
	<span class="emphasis"><em>(3)</em></span> You can now build HarfBuzz (on either
	a MacPorts or a Homebrew system) by running:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	  <span class="command"><strong>./configure</strong></span>
	</pre>
<p>
	followed by:
	</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
	  <span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span>
	</pre>
<p>
      </p>
<p>
	This should leave you with a shared
	library in the <code class="filename">src/</code> directory, and a few
	utility programs including <span class="command"><strong>hb-view</strong></span> and
	<span class="command"><strong>hb-shape</strong></span> under the <code class="filename">util/</code>
