Can build standalone but not as dependency

[sjml]

I'm trying to embed Tectonic in another program but am running into build issues that I can't quite pin down...

I'm building on macOS with dependencies installed via Homebrew.

This works just fine:

git clone https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic
cd tectonic
git submodule update --init
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix icu4c)/lib/pkgconfig cargo build

But this fails:

cargo new tectonic-embed
cd tectonic-embed
cargo add tectonic
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix icu4c)/lib/pkgconfig cargo build

With trouble building the vendored HarfBuzz, it looks like.

I noted this discussion where the problem was resolved by enabling external-harfbuzz but that just seems to have a different set of build issues where it looks like the XeTeX build is looking for <harfbuzz/hb.h> but the pkg-config include flag is already pointing to the harfbuzz directory so it's missing the header:

I was about to start mucking around with CFLAGS but figured there might be some deeper issue I'm missing, at least with regard to getting the vendored version building properly when the Tectonic is a dependency.

I have this too, it's definitely not completed with the C++17 upgrade

Found it - it's actually already been fixed in d5a605d, but for some reason that doesn't land if you download tectonic from master and run git submodule update --init --recursive. That change fixed it for me, if anyone else has this problem!

[Prashant4900]

git submodule update --init --recursive

where you run this command or i still facing same issue even after update the field

[nsarrazin]

Has anyone found a good fix for this? The issue is still happening for me, trying to build tectonic as a cargo dependency on mac OS.

Have you checked out the discussion in #1202? I got it working with that update. (There hasn't been a proper release in a while, though, so you need to be building from the repo.)

Is there an ETA on a release with the fix?
