All my packages are managed at GitHub where you can also contribute directly: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs There also exist a binary repository: https://martchus.no-ip.biz/repo/arch/ownstuff NOTE: For bootstrapping mingw-w64-freetype2-bootstrap can be built first.

That's true - although the additional provide also doesn't hurt. I'll change it on the next update. I guess mingw-w64-cairo-bootstrap should then depend on the normal mingw-w64-freetype2 package, though.

This should not provide the boostrap variant.

@filand Have you found a way to install them. I need to install both mingw-w64-freetype2 and mingw-w64-harfbuzz packages and their other dependencies but I can't install one before installing the other. even yay doesn't work.

@pinplug Ok, although using LTO might actually be an advantage. If I call ranlib after executing strip it works again. The resulting package is still bigger so I suppose LTO information is preserved, or did strip just not work at all?

pingplug commented on 2021-08-27 03:13 (UTC)

strip doesn't support LTO and breaks static libs. Just add -D b_lto=false to disable LTO.

Just build mingw-w64-freetype2-bootstrap first (or use my binary repo).

Trying to install this package I'm getting cycle dependency error. I think, this is because it is dependent from harfbuzz, which again is dependent from freetype2. I saw the same situation in mingw-w64-gcc and mingw-w64-crt, they depend on each other, how and why does it work?

there's a typo in your PKGBUILD: `ha1sums` vs `sha1sums`

Building the latest version results in the following build error: https://gist.github.com/Martchus/d9870c1e904c4c211d86ca3033bdf6ea Hence I haven't updated the package yet. Here is my current attempt: https://github.com/Martchus/PKGBUILDs/blob/freetype2/freetype2/mingw-w64/PKGBUILD
