-TagLib Installation
-===================
-
-TagLib uses the CMake build system. As a user, you will most likely want to
-build TagLib in release mode and install it into a system-wide location.
-This can be done using the following commands:
-
- cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
- make
- sudo make install
-
-In order to build the included examples, use the BUILD_EXAMPLES option:
-
- cmake -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=ON [...]
-
-See http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/runningcmake.html for generic help on
-running CMake.
-
-Mac OS X
---------
-
-On Mac OS X, you might want to build a framework that can be easily integrated
-into your application. If you set the BUILD_FRAMEWORK option on, it will compile
-TagLib as a framework. For example, the following command can be used to build
-an Universal Binary framework with Mac OS X 10.4 as the deployment target:
-
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
- -DBUILD_FRAMEWORK=ON \
- -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 \
- -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/c++-4.0 \
- -DCMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/ \
- -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 \
- -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="ppc;i386;x86_64"
-
-For a 10.6 Snow Leopard static library with both 32-bit and 64-bit code, use:
-
- cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
- -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6 \
- -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="i386;x86_64" \
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF \
- -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<folder you want to build to>"
-
-After 'make', and 'make install', add libtag.a to your XCode project, and add
-the include folder to the project's User Header Search Paths.
-
-Windows
--------
-
-It's Windows ... Systems vary!
-This means you need to adjust things to suit your system, especially paths.
-
-Tested with:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2010
- Gcc by mingw-w64.sf.net v4.6.3 (Strawberry Perl 32b)
- MinGW32-4.8.0
-
-Requirements:
- 1. Tool chain, Build Environment, Whatever ya want to call it ...
- Installed and working.
- 2. CMake program. (Available at: www.cmake.org)
- Installed and working.
-
-Optional:
- 1. Zlib library.
- Available in some Tool Chains, Not all.
- Search the web, Take your choice.
-
-Useful configuration options used with CMake (GUI and/or Command line):
- Any of the ZLIB_ variables may be used at the command line, ZLIB_ROOT is only
- available on the Command line.
- ZLIB_ROOT= Where to find ZLib's root directory.
- Assumes parent of: \include and \lib.
- ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR= Where to find ZLib's Include directory.
- ZLIB_LIBRARY= Where to find ZLib's Library.
- ZLIB_SOURCE= Where to find ZLib's Source Code.
- Alternative to ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR and ZLIB_LIBRARY.
- CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= Where to install Taglib.
- CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE= Release, Debug, etc ... (Not available in MSVC)
-
-The easiest way is at the Command Prompt.
- MSVS Command Prompt for MSVS Users.
- (Batch file and/or Shortcuts are your friends)
-
- 1. Build the Makefiles:
- Replace "GENERATOR" with your needs.
- For MSVS : "Visual Studio X" where X is the single or two digit version.
- For MinGW: "MinGW Makefiles"
-
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> cmake -G "GENERATOR" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\Libraries\taglib
-
- Or use the CMake GUI:
- 1. Open CMake GUI.
- 2. Set Paths.
- "Where is the source code" and "Where to build the binaries"
- Example, Both would be: C:\GitRoot\taglib
- 3. Tick: Advanced
- 4. Select: Configure
- 5. Select: Generator
- 6. Tick: Use default native compilers
- 7. Select: Finish
- Wait until done.
- 5. If using ZLib, Scroll down.
- (to the bottom of the list of options ... should go over them all)
- 1. Edit: ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR
- 2. Edit: ZLIB_LIBRARY
- 6. Select: Generate
-
- 2. Build the project:
- MSVS:
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> msbuild all_build.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release
- OR (Depending on MSVS version or personal choice)
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> devenv all_build.vcxproj /build Release
- MinGW:
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> gmake
- OR (Depending on MinGW install)
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> mingw32-make
-
- Or in the MSVS GUI:
- 1. Open MSVS.
- 2. Open taglib solution.
- 3. Set build type to: Release (look in the tool bars)
- 2. Hit F7 to build the solution. (project)
-
- 3. Install the project:
- (Change 'install' to 'uninstall' to uninstall the project)
- MSVS:
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> msbuild install.vcxproj
- OR (Depending on MSVC version or personal choice)
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> devenv install.vcxproj
- MinGW:
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> gmake install
- OR (Depending on MinGW install)
- C:\GitRoot\taglib> mingw32-make install
-
- Or in the MSVS GUI:
- 1. Open project.
- 2. Open Solution Explorer.
- 3. Right Click: INSTALL
- 4. Select: Project Only
- 5. Select: Build Only INSTALL
-
-To build a static library, set the following two options with CMake.
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON
-
-Including ENABLE_STATIC_RUNTIME=ON indicates you want TagLib built using the
-static runtime library, rather than the DLL form of the runtime.
-
-Unit Tests
-----------
-
-If you want to run the test suite to make sure TagLib works properly on your
-system, you need to have cppunit installed. To build the tests, include
-the option -DBUILD_TESTS=on when running cmake.
-
-The test suite has a custom target in the build system, so you can run
-the tests using make:
-
- make check
