Build Log: zhws6c5r9id13235qr79417i4qvhhc-perl-harfbuzz-shaper-0.023.drv.log

Thanks for reporting. You seem to have a very uncommon system setup. CPAN kits are intended to be build using the cpan or cpanm tool so this may induce surprises.

The error you get is due to a load failure of the harfbuzz library. It is missing entry point hb_font_set_ptem. This entry point was added to the harfbuzz library in version 1.6.0 (2017!) but it may be possible that your system still has an even older version. On the other hand, the build procedure did already verify that there is a usuable harfbuzz library (line 352: "using platform library") -- and succeeds, while a couple of lines later it reports "No library found for -lharfbuzz". The build procedure checks for libraries in common places like /lib, /use/local/lib etc and it seems to detect a usuable library there. But the actual compile and link phase use a quite different environment in /gnu/store/8zvc5mvk0xm3ygrxsgpyy5ilxb5rzjry-perl-5.30.2/.

The only suggestion I can give is to contact your platform support.

You may try to change line 64 of Makefile.PL into my $hb_include = 1 and see if this helps.

The issue was resolved by explicitly pointing the path to the harbuzz library by manually passing LIBS=-L/path/to/harfbuzz/lib -lharfbuzz during the call the perl Makefile.PL.

Here is the log: b0rn7cn0kf1ssip45rpyb1rhhn9d8j-perl-harfbuzz-shaper-0.023.drv.log

Please do let me know if something is amiss there. (Because it seems chordpro-next is still not rendering Devanagari correctly for me. It's probably a packaging issue. But I want to completely rule this module out, as a culprit.)

Update, chordpro-next runs fine with a --config file specified, as you said. So, this thing works. Thank you very much.

Closing this as resolved.

Thanks for your persistence and confidence!
