Python-aux

Auxiliary libraries needed for Python3 compilation, precompiled (libpng, harfbuzz, freetype...). They can be useful for many other OpenSource projects on iOS, too.

What we have:

• libpng (1.6.37)
• libffi (main branch)
• libzmq (zeroMQ) (main branch)
• OpenBLAS (develop branch)
• freetype (2.10.2)
• harfbuzz (main branch)

How to use:

In your Xcode project, use the menu File -> "Swift Packages" -> "Add Package Dependency". In the window that opens, enter the address for this repository (https://github.com/holzschu/Python-aux.git).

In the rightmost column, you will see "Swift Package Dependencies", and under it "Python-aux". Under "Referenced Binaries", you have all the libraries, precompiled, as "xcframework". You can link with them, embed them, and Xcode will extract the iOS or Simulator version as needed.

How to compile:

In this repository, run build_all_packages.sh. This will update the code, compile the packages, create the frameworks, create and compress the xcframeworks and output the hash sums.

For use in your own repository, update the hash sums in Package.swift, publish the xcframeworks.zip in the right place and enjoy.

Work in progress:

• libheif: needs libpng (OK), libde265 and libx265 (WIP): https://github.com/strukturag/libde265
