libkiwix

libkiwix contains the common code base for all kiwix ports.

Build kiwix-tools

Most of the compilation steps (including download and compilation of dependencies and other tools (kiwix-tools)) are handle by kiwix-build script. If you don't have any special need, we recommand you to use kiwix-build instead of doing all the steps yourself.

Dependencies:

You'll need the following dependencies to build libkiwix:

icu
libzim
pugixml
aria2c
ctpp2
xapian (optional)

On debian architecture, you can install the following deb packages:

libicu-dev
libxapian-dev
libctpp2-dev
aria2c

You will need to install yourself:

libzim
libpugixml - 1.8+, compiled with -DBUILD_PKGCONFIG=1 -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=1

As we use meson to build kiwix-tools, you will need the common meson tools:

meson >= 0.34
ninja
pkg-config

To build:

$ cd kiwix-lib
$ meson . build
$ cd build
$ ninja
$ ninja install

By default, it will compile dynamic linked libraries. If you want statically linked libraries, you can add --default-library=static option to the meson command.
