This flag used on xapian-meson build on Windows ends in a crash in
libzim when compacting the database.
To be fixed at a moment but let's not use this flag for now on Windows
The meson build fails on cross compiliation `win32_*` and
on `native_dyn` on Macos (but doesn't fail on `native_static` or
`native_mixed`...)
On top of that, the fact that xapian-meson build system is fluky on
Windows doesn't make me confident.
As I will be out for few months, I prefer keep the autotool build system
on already working configs.
This reverts commit 05fc3b409c.
This was a temporary commit to make the PR compile with a dev branch of libzim.
Now PR on libzim is merged. We must remove this commit.
- Archive already existing must not stop download of other archives.
- Use copytree instead of rename to use second archive as patch on existing
directory. (No need to remove tmpdir, as it is a temporary directory)
The target_platform option has always be wrongly named.
This is not the platform we are targeted but how we compile.
This was ok at beginning as specifying how we compile somehow define
for what we compile but this is not a one to one mapping.
When we introduced CoreKiwix.xcframework, we made two mistakes:
- We forgot that some devs are on Apple Silicon and did not include arm64 arch for simulator
- We kept the `x86_64-apple-ios` target thinking simulator is a “just” an iOS on x64
This target mistake prevented XCode from finding our lib usable with the Simulator on x64.
Not including an arm64 version obviously prevented Silicon-using devs from using the Simulator.
The included libs changes now from

| Name | Content |

| `ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator` | Fsat binary for iOS Simulator with both x64 and arm64 |
| `macos-arm64_x86_64` | Fat binary for macOS with both x64 and arm64 |
- `iOSx64` Platforn renamed to `iOSx64Simulator` with its target fixed to `x86-apple-ios-simulator` (was `x86_64-apple-ios`)
- Added platformn `iOSArm64Simulator` for Apple Silicon devs to run Simulator
- `AppleXCFramework` dependency gets two changes:
- Depends on all those platforms
- `_make_macos_fat()` turned generic and called both for macOS fat binary and iOS Simulator one
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.
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
