Building and installing

Building and installing the library

libebml is based on cmake and requires only a C++ compiler supporting at least the C++17 standard. This means that the normal build process consists of the usual steps:

1. Create a build directory: mkdir build ; cd build
2. Generate the make file: cmake ..
3. Compilation: make
4. Installation (run this as root): make install

Customizing what's build with options

By default only a static library is built.

This library supports the usual cmake options for specifying installation paths (e.g. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/libebml). The following additional cmake options are supported:

• -DDISABLE_PKGCONFIG=YES — don't generate and install the libebml.pc package configuration module for pkg-config
• -DDISABLE_CMAKE_CONFIG=YES — don't generate and install the package configuration module for cmake. Note that building libebml requires that the cmake configuration is available.
• -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=YES — build the shared library instead of the static one (default: no)
