If we are cross-compiling to windows, we need to also link with the iconv library. We do not check for the iconv library existance here. We assume that if the ctpp2 library is present all its own dependencies are present also.
kiwix-tools
kiwix-tools contains a set of tools to interact with kiwix and zim files.
Build kiwix-tools
Most of the compilation steps (including dependencies download and compilation) 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:
- kiwix-lib (and its dependencies)
- libmicrohttpd
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 binaries.
If you want statically linked binaries, you can add --default-library=static
option to the meson command.
