how could i embed harfbuzz library source into go package

[aihui zhu]

I'm trying to embed the harfbuzz(http://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz) library source code into go package, 

just like what the glfw(http://github.com/go-gl/glfw) library does.

The difference is that glfw contains only C, but harfbuzz is actually a C++ library and provide C API.

My cgo header code is here:

/*
#cgo CFLAGS: -Iharfbuzz/src -std=c++11 -x c++
#cgo LDFLAGS: -lstdc++

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "hb.h"
#include "hb-ot.h"
#include "harfbuzz.cc"
*/
import "C"

when i compile it, i got many errors like 

./harfbuzz.go:50:42: could not determine kind of name for C.char

./harfbuzz.go:373:20: could not determine kind of name for C.float

./harfbuzz.go:327:2: could not determine kind of name for C.free

./harfbuzz.go:97:9: could not determine kind of name for C.hb_blob_create

./harfbuzz.go:316:2: could not determine kind of name for C.hb_blob_destroy

./harfbuzz.go:325:11: could not determine kind of name for C.hb_blob_get_data

./harfbuzz.go:320:14: could not determine kind of name for C.hb_blob_get_length

./harfbuzz.go:87:84: could not determine kind of name for C.hb_blob_t

but there is no errors when i change the cgo header to use the dynamic library installed by Homebrew.

 I am not so familiar with Cgo/C++ compiling, could anyone help me.

Thanks.

Problem solved, thanks.

I created a harfbuzz.cc inside the go package directory, it contains only one line

#include "harfbuzz/src/harfbuzz.cc"

and then change the cgo header to:

/*
#cgo CFLAGS: -Iharfbuzz/src
#cgo CXXFLAGS: -std=c++11

#cgo LDFLAGS: -lstdc++

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "hb.h"
#include "hb-ot.h"

*/
import "C"
