I cannot find the guide to get started with using HarfBuzz in my own app.
I looked here:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz/
This seems to be the official page of HarfBuzz.
I looked over Download, Building and Development sections. But I must be overlooking something.

SourceForge is not affiliated with HarfBuzz. For more information, see the SourceForge Open Source Mirror Directory . HarfBuzz is an open source text-shaping engine with a C API that turns fonts and strings of character codes into a form that is correctly arranged for the corresponding language and writing system.
Configure with -system-harfbuzz to force the use of the system library, or -no-harfbuzz to disable the use of HarfBuzz entirely. The sources can be found in tqtc-qt5/qtbase/src/3rdparty/harfbuzz.
Some good and simple examples are listed on Harfbuzz wiki, 1, 2
I suggest you a higher level library, Pango if you need layout things like line wrap and I guess you would find better doucmentation for it than HarfBuzz itself.
You may have a look at State of Text Rendering also.
