============
Installation
============
(LADI) *a2jmidid* primary build system is the |waf| build system.
*a2jmidid* can use the |meson| build system.
Configure, build & install using |waf| with a2jmidid
-------------------
Configure it::
./waf configure
This will configure for installation to /usr/local prefix.
If you want to use other prefix, use --prefix option::
./waf configure --prefix=/usr
For full list of options, run::
./waf configure --help
There are two custom options:
* "--disable-dbus will" force disable dbus support, even if dependencies are present
* "--enable-pkg-config-dbus-service-dir" will force D-Bus service install
dir to be one returned by pkg-config. This is usually needed when
prefix is /usr/local because dbus daemon scans /usr for service
files but does not in /usr/local
Build it::
./waf
You can use -j option to enable building on more than one CPU::
./waf -j 4
Install it::
./waf install
You probably want to run later as superuser to install system-wide
Configure and build using |meson|
-------------------
To configure the project, |meson|'s |meson_universal_options| (e.g. *prefix*)
can be used to prepare a build directory::
meson --prefix=/usr build
One additional - project specific - option enables for building without |dbus|
support::
meson --prefix=/usr -Ddisable-dbus=true build
To build the application |ninja| is required::
ninja -C build
Install using |meson|
-------
|meson| is able to install the project components to the system directories
(when run as root), while honoring the *DESTDIR* environment variable::
DESTDIR="/some/other/location" meson install -C build
