1 To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure
2 you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu,
3 you can install that this way:
6 sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev
9 And then run `autogen.sh` (if building from git), and then:
12 ./configure --with-gobject --enable-introspection
15 Make sure that gobject-introspection is reported enabled then in the `configure` script output.
19 Make sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`, as needed
20 for the linker to find the library.
22 Then make sure you also have `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` pointing to the resulting
23 `$prefix/lib/girepository-*` directory.
25 Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following
26 import works in your Python interpreter:
29 from gi.repository import HarfBuzz
32 If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations.
33 See [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py).
35 The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are
36 using it, and send lots of feedback.
