Hello,

It seems that recent changes in pango library that Upp depends on requires that hb.h file is in include paths. To overcome that issue we need to add following path in include path of our build method:

/usr/include/harfbuzz

I highly recommended to avoid problems in the future we need to change our build methods to support that out of the box. Here is the link to pango file that is causing problems:
- https://github.com/GNOME/pango/blame/master/pango/pango-cove rage.h (You can blame this file and read more information why <hb.h> was added to this file).

It seems that only few distros are affected by this problem especially the rolling ones. My distro which is Manajaro is affected.

Sincerely,
Klugier
