Compilation error in texlive extension with new Freedesktop SDK 24.08

1

Dear all,

I created a pull request to update the texlive extension to the freedesktop SDK 24.08 but now it throws an error and does not compile.
The difference is just in the runtime version and I assume that the relevant gcc messages are

../../../texk/web2c/xetexdir/XeTeXLayoutInterface.cpp:43:10: fatal error: hb-graphite2.h: No such file or directory
   43 | #include <hb-graphite2.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

However, when I checked the harfbuzz and graphite repositories, I could not find significant changes between 2023 and now.
So could someone give me a hint how to solve issue?

Best regards

Looks like this got disabled when switching harfbuzz to meson.

harfbuzz: Enable graphite2 (!21657) · Merge requests · freedesktop-sdk / freedesktop-sdk · GitLab is the fix for 24.08 but if we can’t land it due to ABI changes, you will have to build harfbuzz in the manifest until 25.08 is out.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I will wait with the update then.

can’t really wait 25.08 for this. other apps rely on the runtime.

it’s out now, try again?
