This might be loading HarfBuzz from your system build or something. Have you tried setting GI_TYPELIB_PATH?

You can see what file is actually loaded this way:

AttributeError: 'gi.repository.HarfBuzz' object has no attribute 'buffer_get_glyph_infos'

I just installed HarfBuzz from git and checked: in both /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/girepository-1.0/ I have the newest files. And as you can see from dir(hb), there is lots of stuff, but for some reason no "buffer_get_glyph_infos"...

from harfbuzz.

Can you send me the build log?

from harfbuzz.

Same here.

hb
gi.module.DynamicModule 'HarfBuzz' from '/usr/local/Cellar/gobject-introspection/1.44.0/lib/girepository-1.0/HarfBuzz-0.0.typelib'
that location is exactly as expected from my gi repository configuration

I have built harfbuzz using homebrew (http://brew.sh) adding the right switches to enable introspection. I am not sure how to fetch the build logs.

from harfbuzz.

I have managed to get a log. it seems to show failures at the GISCAN stage. here it is:

I don't have any ideas. I'm trying to build on my Mac with introspection and see...

from harfbuzz.

any luck with your mac build? brew has committed their build now, perhaps this relates to the way they built the introspection libraries?

from harfbuzz.

No progress. I'm using ports. I have gobject-introspection installed, but don't have the Python bindings.

from harfbuzz.

the issue seems to be in the gobject-introspection scanner, which fails to parse some typedef declarations in the stdint.h header file. This in turn leads to failing to parse other dependent typedef declarations in hb-common.h and hb-buffer.h.

If I don't include the standard header stdint.h but re-define the exact-width integer types in hb-common.h, then the gobject-introspection scanner no longer raises those syntax errors, and the generated python binding contains the missing attribute buffer_get_glyph_infos, and the sample.py script runs without errors.

This is very weird...

from harfbuzz.

So, it turns out the problem is in the gobject-introspection giscanner/scannerlexer.l, which does not provide a rule for the keyword __signed. This is used in OS X's stdint.h header (precisely, it's inside sys/_types/_int8_t.h), when defining the int8_t type:

typedef __signed char       int8_t;

If I patch scannerlexer.l like this:

diff --git a/giscanner/scannerlexer.l b/giscanner/scannerlexer.l
index 835b92c..78e2bbd 100644
--- a/giscanner/scannerlexer.l

then the syntax errors related to int8_t will disappear, and harfbuzz will compile with the correct python bindings.

I have created a homebrew tap formula for harfbuzz, which depends on such patched version of gobject-introspection.
The formulas' sources can be found here and here.

To install them just run:

$ brew tap anthrotype/taps
$ brew install anthrotype/taps/harfbuzz --verbose

My harfbuzz tap also provides a --HEAD option, to clone and compile from the repo's current HEAD.

(I guess we should raise the issue in GNOME bug tracker as well)
