Dependencies

Common dependencies

Before you can compile the libqrtr-glib library, you will need at least the following tools:

• A compliant C toolchain: e.g. glibc or musl libc, gcc or clang/llvm.
• pkg-config, a tool for tracking the compilation flags needed for libraries.
• The glib2 library.
  • For libqrtr-glib >= 1.2, glib2 >= 2.56.
  • For libqrtr-glib >= 1.0, glib2 >= 2.48

In addition to the previous mandatory requirements, the project also has several optional dependencies that would be needed when enabling additional project features:

• gtk-doc tools, in order to regenerate the documentation.
• gobject-introspection, in order to generate the introspection support.

When building from a git checkout instead of from a source tarball, the following additional dependencies are required:

• GNU autotools (autoconf/automake/libtool).
• Autoconf archive

Dependencies when building libqrtr-glib 1.2 or later with meson

When building with meson, the following additional dependencies are required:

• meson.
• ninja.

Dependencies when building libqrtr-glib 1.0 with GNU autotools

When building with the GNU autotools, the following additional dependencies are required:

• make

There are two main ways to build the library using GNU autotools: from a git repository checkout and from a source release tarball. When building from a git checkout instead of from a source tarball, the following additional dependencies are required:

• GNU autotools (autoconf/automake/libtool).
• Autoconf archive.
