Another gtk-osx user experienced that failure a couple of weeks ago [1]. You have libbrotli installed somewhere outside of /Users/gtkdeveloper/gnucash that Cmake can find it and pkg-config can't. That makes meson decide that it can't use that freetype to build harfbuzz so it ignores it and builds harfbuzz without freetype. Add module_cmakeargs['freetype']="-DFT_DISABLE_BROTLI=YES" module_cmakeargs['freetype-no-harfbuzz']="-DFT_DISABLE_BROTLI=YES" to /Users/gtkdeveloper/.config/jhbuildrc-custom and run jhbuild buildone -fc freetype-no-harfbuzz jhbuild build I just pushed a commit to gtk-osx to make Harfbuzz fail immediately if it's unhappy with Freetype for some reason. That should make troubleshooting this kind of problem a little quicker. Regards, John Ralls [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/issues/62 <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx/-/issues/62>
