Chafa is for displaying images on the terminal, my assumption was that is was not a key feature for us and that it wasn't holding up the build, but looks like I was wrong for the latter. The version in focal is older than what current Harfbuzz main requires. Before trying to do a backport I'd ask if this component is necessary or can simply be turned off with -Dchafa=disabled
.
I disabled chafa as @n7s suggested and the build (from the most recent git sources) seemed to work.
I can confirm that -Dchafa=disabled
fixes the problem in my newly-spun-up VM, and that hb-vew
still works.
Have configured my provision.sh to install Graphite and Harfbuzz from source. I'm getting this error during Harfbuzz build:
BdV says chafa is a relatively new dependency for Harfbuzz
