We compile only libzim on bionic, for compatibility with old libc.
No need to compile all other dependencies (and fight with some of them not
compiling)
It mainly allow to run command in directory containing space.
(Hello, `C:\Program Files\...`)
It would also allow to work on directory containning spaces
(`C:\Users\John Doe`) but xapian configure (at least) expressly doesn't
support it :/
- Run the command without shell=True
- The command must be a list instead of a string.
- All options must also be a list (or an iterable).
When running command without `shell=True`, python's subproccess will look
for variable `"PATH"` and `b"PATH"` and will complain if both are set.
So the defaultdict should not return something for `b"PATH"`.
We also escape space ` ` in the environment variables to not break
everything with directory containing space.
There is no such thing as a `LINUX_DOCKER_TRIGGER` platform target nor expected OS_NAME.
BuildDefinition expects the docker publish trigger to happen for native_static
no_skip is thus computed automatically depending on project being our or not.
We dont want to skip configure on our own projetcs (limited impact, simplifies deps mgmt)
CoreKiwix.xcframework is the packaging format required by Kiwix apple (macOS/iOS) reader for libkiwix.
Naming will hopefully be revisited later (libkiwix.xcframework?)
This folder is a combination of all static archive (*.a): dependencies and libkiwix itself
for all apple-supported platforms: macOS x86_64, macOS arm64, iOS arm64 and iOS x86_64.
It also includes the headers.
Note: while iOS archs are separated in the framework, the macOS archs are bundled as a fat binary.
This thus adds:
- A new `apple_all_static` target that lists mentioned sub-platforms.
- A new `AppleXCFramework` virtual dependency and builder
- requires `libkiwix`
- merges the archives into one per target
- creates the fat binary for macOS
- creates the xcframework
- `libkiwix_xcframework-VERSION.tar.gz` because platformname is xcframework
- it only contains the xcframework but in libkiwix_xcframework-VERSION/lib folder
Because with this virtual target, there are no other files
- requires a new `xcframework` platform_name in builddef
- subplatforms deps and macOS/iOS _ok files to make_deps_archive

When we use `--disable-tools` (ie, when we are cross-compiling), ICU
will build the data only if it detects we are cross-compiling.
This make sens until we cross-compiling for wasm.
Wasm output is a script file with the interpreter in the sdk we have
installed. So ICU's configure can run the test binary and so doesn't detect
we are cross-compiling.
So we have to patch ICU Makefile to make it build the ICU data anyway.
