           Summary: [GTK][WKE] Circular dependency between harfbuzz and
                    freetype6
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

On the JHBuild for the GTK+ and WPE ports we are building both harfbuzz and freetype6.

The issue is that there is a circular dependency between harfbuzz and freetype6 that can cause issues depending on what the libraries the developer has installed.

This is because the switch to detect this features is automatic enabled depending on the headers it detects.

The support for harfbuzz on freetype6 is an optional feature that most distros (fedora, debian, openembedded....) seems to disable by building freetype6 with --with-harfbuzz=no


Let's do the same
