This requires libfribidi and a font with arabic or hebrew glyphs.
To build libfribidi add something like this to your makefiles:
FRIBIDI_VER = 0.19.7
$(ARCHIVE)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER).tar.bz2:
$(WGET) https://fribidi.org/download/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER).tar.bz2
$(D)/libfribidi: $(ARCHIVE)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER).tar.bz2 | $(TARGETPREFIX)
$(REMOVE)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER)
$(UNTAR)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER).tar.bz2
set -e; cd $(BUILD_TMP)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER); \
$(CONFIGURE) \
--prefix= \
--mandir=/.remove \
--disable-debug \
--disable-deprecated \
--enable-charsets \
--with-glib=no \
; \
$(MAKE); \
$(MAKE) install DESTDIR=$(TARGETPREFIX)
$(REWRITE_PKGCONF) $(PKG_CONFIG_PATH)/fribidi.pc
$(REWRITE_LIBTOOL)/libfribidi.la
$(REMOVE)/fribidi-$(FRIBIDI_VER)
touch $@
If you want to link libfribidi statically add --disable-shared
and --enable-static to configure call.
