Build

This program must be easily embedded in the postscriptum packaging. The build therefore intends to produce a static binary.

The build is not supported on Windows or macOS but can be achieved with Docker or WSL.

Dependencies

• build-essentials (gcc, binutils, etc...)
• cmake
• mingw-w64-i686 (to cross-build)

On an Ubuntu : apt-get install -y build-essential cmake g++-mingw-w64-i686 binutils-mingw-w64-i686

There is no need to install PoDoFo and his dependencies. The CMake build handles them.

Instructions

• Linux and macOS : scripts/build.sh
• Windows (mingw32 crossbuild) : scripts/build.sh win32 cmake/Toolchain-i686-w64-mingw32.cmake

The binaries are produced in the build directory.

With Docker

• Linux : docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work multiarch/crossbuild /work/scripts/build.sh
• Windows : docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work -e CROSS_TRIPLE=i686-w64-mingw32 multiarch/crossbuild /work/scripts/build.sh win32 /work/cmake/Toolchain-i686-w64-mingw32.cmake
• macOS : docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work -e CROSS_TRIPLE=x86_64-apple-darwin multiarch/crossbuild /work/scripts/build.sh darwin /work/cmake/Toolchain-x86_64-apple-darwin14.cmake

On Windows, replace $PWD by %CD%.
