Hi crackwitz,
Many thanks for the help. I think I’m starting to understand a bit better now, but I’m still stuck at the very beginning (note that I’m very new to using CMake and compiling from source).
I have tried to follow the instructions of this website The FreeType Project - Browse /freetype2/2.5.3 at SourceForge.net and have managed to compile the freetype source without harfbuzz, then use visual studio to obtain the lib files.
However, I’m at a complete lost on what to do from here. I don’t know how to specify for harfbuzz where to find the include folders and lib files (I assume this is somewhere in the CMakeLists file but don’t know where) and probably will have the same problem once I move onto compiling freetype again and opencv. Namely, I’m getting te following error:
" HB_HAVE_FREETYPE was set, but we failed to find it. Maybe add a
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH= to your Freetype2 install prefix" I just don’t know how to do what it says.
Could you please help me with it?
