libmatroska

a C++ library to parse and create Matroska files

Building and installing

Building and installing the library

libmatroska is based on

cmake

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

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/libmatroska

cmake

• -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)
