There is also a circular dependency between freetype and HarfBuzz.

Note that fontconfig and Cario are only needed for the tests and tools built with HarfBuzz and thus it appears safe to configure them out:

) Build Freetype using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static \

--with-harfbuzz=no

) Build HarfBuzz using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static \

--with-fontconfig=no \

--with-cairo=no 

) Build Freetype using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static \

--with-harfbuzz=yes

) Build fontconfig.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static

) Build pixman.

./configure \

--prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static \

--disable-gtk

) Build Cairo.

./configure \

--prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static

) Build HarfBuzz using:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local \

--disable-shared \

--enable-static \

--with-fontconfig=yes \

--with-cairo=yes
