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.
