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 -Dstatic-linkage=true option to the meson command. Be aware that you must have static library dependencies installed on your system.
