- Dependency are installed "striped".
- Our project are build "debugoptimized" by default and "release" when
building release instead of "debug"
We need to update the `base_deps_meta_version` as we are changing how
dependencies are compiled.
kiwix-desktop needs the aria2 binary to download content.
kiwix-desktop will use aria2 throw lib-kiwix so it is somehow a kiwix-lib
dependency, but it is used only by kiwix-desktop.
And we know to install it only on platforms where we are supporting
kiwix-destkop.
This commit add a first version code to build a flatpak of kiwix-desktop.
It is mainly based on the PR #254 of @birros (hence he is the author of this commit)
However there is some differences :
- I (@mgautier) create a new builder to run the flatpak build instead of using a new
dependency.
- Use the flatpak platform to install org.kde.Platform and org.kde.Sdk
This code version doesn't correctly work but I wanted to commit the birros' code
without too many modification (even if there is a lot).
On ubuntu, the libcurl package is compiled with libkrb (kerberos).
However, no libkrb5.a is provided and so, we cannot link statically.
As we are not using kerberos, we can (and must) compile ourselves libcurl.
qmake seems to generate wrong "dist" rules for "make".
It try to copy the translation files as if it was in current directory
instead of looking the source dir.
dist archive is usefull with autotools where we want to run autogen before.
Or with meson when meson run tests before making the archive.
With qmake, it seems useless, let's simply archive what is git.
SVN checkout can be pretty long to do (especially if icu serveur is pretty
slow).
By downloading an archive on our own server, we avoid a spending too many
time downloading.
The archive is a simple targz of the SVN checkout.
- Disable icuio and layoutex.
- Hardcode UTF8 as charset (we always use utf8 and hardcoding him improve
performances)
- Do not include default utf headers
- Do not use `using namespace icu`
See http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/trunk/icu4c/readme.html#RecBuild
for more information about options.
Increment base dependencies version as we are compiling icu differently.
Enable `--no-daemon` : Using the daemon make gradle keep "configuration"
(like plugin path). If gradle installation path change, it will break
kiwix-android build.
Enable `--build-cache` : This is not the case by default :/
This should greatly improve compilation speed.
By building kiwix-android on the `android` platform, we can now build
`kiwix-lib` on all `android_<arch>` platforms, and so have all
architectures in the same apk.
Fix#108
This is the big change !!!!
Instead of handling target as primary object and prepare/build targets,
we are handling build steps.
A build step may be a source (preparation) or a build (of the source).
Actualy, a step is a tuple (context, Builder or Source).
The context define the context of the step. It can be :
- 'source', for a Source step
- 'neutral' or the name of a platform for Build step.
Target becomes a "Class only" class.
Introduce also a "NeutralEnv", a build environment independent of the
targeted platform. All `Source` now build using the neutralEnv.
Most of toolchains are also using neutralEnv except android_ndk who is
specific to a platform.
As toolchain are neutral, platform specific environment variables are now
set by the platformInfo directly instead of the toolchain.
