On Linux, install the development packages for FreeType, Cairo, and GLib.
For example, on Ubuntu / Debian, you would do:
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
<span class="command"><strong>sudo apt-get install</strong></span> <span class="package">gcc g++ libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libcairo2-dev</span>
</pre>
<p>
whereas on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, and other Red Hat based systems you would do:
</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>
or using MacPorts:
</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 a tarball, you can now proceed to running
<span class="command"><strong>configure</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>make</strong></span> as with any
other standard package. That should leave you with a shared library in
<code class="filename">src/</code>, and a few utility programs including hb-view
and hb-shape under <code class="filename">util/</code>.
</p>
<p>
If you are bootstraping from git, you need a few more tools before you
can run <code class="filename">autogen.sh</code> for the first time. Namely,
pkg-config and <a class="ulink" href="http://www.complang.org/ragel/" target="_top">ragel</a>.
Again, on Ubuntu / Debian:
</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>
and on Fedora, RHEL, CentOS:
</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>
or using MacPorts:
</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>
