minimal dependencies and is configurable for various environments. It
runs well on Linux, Unix and Windows based platforms.
Its goals are:
- usable quickly
- well documented
- reliable
Build Instructions
------------------
If you are building from a source control checkout, run:
./bootstrap.sh
to generate the `configure` script.
From the top-level directory, run the following commands:
./configure
make
The public API is defined in `strophe.h` which is in the
top-level directory.
The `examples` directory contains some examples of how to
use the library; these may be helpful in addition to the
API documentation
To install on your system, as root (or using sudo):
make install
Note, the default install path is `/usr/local/`, to specify
another path use the `--prefix` option during configure, e.g.:
./configure --prefix=/usr
### Android
Run script `build-android.sh` and follow the instructions. You will
need expat sources and android-ndk.
Requirements
------------
libstrophe requires:
- expat or libxml2 - expat is the default; use --with-libxml2 to
switch
- openssl on UNIX systems
To build libstrophe using autotools you will need autoconf, automake,
libtool and pkg-config.
Installation
------------
libstrophe package has been added to popular Linux distributions,
BSD systems and OSX package managers.
Documentation
-------------
API documentation is inline with the code and conforms to Doxygen
standards. You can generate an HTML version of the API documentation
by running:
doxygen
Then open `docs/html/index.html`.
