Building and installing

Building and installing the library

libmatroska is based on cmake. It requires a C++ compiler as well as libebml. 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/libmatroska). The following additional cmake options are supported:

• -DEbml_DIR=/path/to/libebml — if libebml was installed in a non-default location, you have to tell cmake where to find it. Point this variable to the directory containing the EbmlConfig.cmake file.
• -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
• -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=YES — build the shared library instead of the static one (default: no)
