I currently have harfbuzz locked at version 1.1.2 for compatibility with LO. I notice that there is a new version of LO in the pipeline. Does anyone know if this is compatible with the current version of Harfbuzz (1.2.6)?

LO 5.1.1 in contrib and harfbuzz 1.2.4 in opt would compile but when I tried to run any of the executables I got the splash screen and then a segfault. The programs never started.

The LO pre-release 5.1.1.3 works fine with harfbuzz 1.2.4 for me. I didn't try 1.2.6.

I suspect it is due to other ports I have installed that are linked in because they exist when I compile one of the pieces needed for LO but I never could track down which one.

-Daryl I now have libreoffice-5.1.2 and Harfbuzz-1.2.6 and they are compatible.
