LibMISB

LibMISB is a Meson project. This makes it easy to build software packages for a variety of operating systems and platforms, including embedded devices.

Building LibMISB

You can run the following commands:

meson builddir --prefix=/usr
ninja -C builddir

Specify meson --prefix $INSTALL_PATH build, if you want the build to be configured for installation in a directory other than /usr/local.

The following features are also available for configuration on the meson command by adding -Doption=value:

Option Description Default Value
examples Build examples enabled
docs Build documentation with doxygen enabled
tests Build tests enabled

Installing the Binaries

Once the ninja -C build commands completes, you can install the generated binaries:

ninja -C builddir install

If you are trying to install to a system location you will need to run with sudo privileges.

sudo ninja -C builddir install
