libkiwix
libkiwix contains the common code base for all kiwix ports.
Build kiwix-lib
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 recommend 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
- ctpp2
- xapian (optional) (>=1.4)
- meson build system (>=0.34)(and so, ninja, pkg-config, ...)
Once all dependencies are installed, you can compile kiwix-lib with:
$ cd kiwix-lib
$ mkdir build
$ 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.
(You may need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH before running meson depending of where
and how you've install dependencies)
(Depending of you system, ninja may be called ninja-build)
