How to use freetype and harfbuzz for a Qt project on Windows?

For building this sample on Windows, the .pro file saying harfbuzz, freetype2 is needed. I know these are available on qtbase on third_party but seems are not exposed for Qt projects. So how I should use or install these dependencies on Windows or use them from qtbase third party if is possible?

you can writer the code in *.pro to use freetype on Linux

LIBS += -lfreetype
INCLUDEPATH += /usr/include/freetype2

I do not work with pkgconfig even do not know Qt has support it or not; On my opinion the best way in yours case build Harfbuzz and FreeType separately from Qt. And then include it in project as libraries.
Example how I make include Boost library in *.pro:

BOOST_DIR = c:/Dev/boost_1_55_0
INCLUDEPATH +=  $$quote($${BOOST_DIR}/include)
LIBS +=  \
        -L$${BOOST_DIR}/lib \
        -lboost_filesystem-mgw48-mt-d-1_55.dll \
        -lboost_system-mgw48-mt-d-1_55.dll
