Folks,
I'm still using an older openSUSE version that comes with g++ 7.5.0 as
the default compiler. For some reason, however, I need the font stack
being compiled with g++ 14, and I want both static and dynamic
libraries. As far as I know it doesn't matter which compiler version
I use for pure C code libraries, so I concentrate on updating C++
stuff.
Compilation and installation into `/usr/local` works fine for glib
(and running `meson test` worked, too, which seems to confirm that
linking binaries with glib works).
I've then configured HarfBuzz as follows.
```
CC=gcc-14 CXX=gcc-14 meson setup --default-library=both build
```
However, the ninja build fails (I've massaged the output to make it
more readable, showing only the first reference error message):
```

```
What might be the cause for this problem? Is there another C++
library dependency that I missed? Just to be sure I installed
FreeType with option `--with-harfbuzz=no`, but I still get the same
HarfBuzz linking error.
Note also that some HarfBuzz test programs are actually linked
successfully (for example, `test-classdef-graph`) – what is so special
about `test-map`?
