Arch Linux User Repository

@Denzy7 Wanted by upstream. Use mingw-w64-freetype2-bootstrap to break the circle; build mingw-w64-freetype2-bootstrap, mingw-w64-harfbuzz and mingw-w64-freetype2 in that order. You can get rid of the bootstrapping package afterwards. On the next update you can of course simply use the existing packages to satisfy the dependency.

Or you just use my binary repo: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#ownstuff

Circular dependency with mingw-w64-freetype

@pingplug Thanks for committing a fix for meson. I'll try it after Qt 6 is rebuilt.

I set the same way as the old package did in an environment variable. Meson documentation states that it should work but it doesn't.

Yes, it looks like it doesn't define GRAPHITE2_STATIC correctly for the compilation of the static harfbuzz library itself because the errors are the following:

These are exclusively symbols from graphite. It should just be e.g. _gr_slot_origin_X (without _imp_) for the static version.

The old build system didn't take that into account either but defining the macro via *_FLAGS helped at least.

nor defining GRAPHITE2_STATIC for static builds would fix it

How did you try to set it? Maybe that just didn't work. Note that it needs to be set during the build of the static harfbuzz library itself; not only when consuming the static library.

Static linking is broken with the current package using the meson build system. Neither the ${_arch}-ranlib trick, disabling LTO nor defining GRAPHITE2_STATIC for static builds would fix it.

I ended up reverting to the configure/make based PKGBUILD and bumping that, and now static linking harfbuzz works again.

You might also want to switch to meson like the native package: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/harfbuzz/trunk/PKGBUILD

I'm currently updating/testing mingw-w64-freetype2 and also switched to meson and I had to add ${_arch}-ranlib "${pkgdir}/usr/${_arch}/lib/"*.a in the packaging step. Otherwise there were linker errors when using the static library. This might be required here as well.

hello, could you remove the exes ?

This package doesn't appear to compile with mingw-w64-gcc 8.2 nor 8.3, but it does compile with 7.3. Can anyone else confirm this?

the pkgver was not updated and now does not match the commit.
