libccid now uses meson build tool
With the version 1.6.0 of libccid I just released (see New version of libccid: 1.6.0) the recommended tool to configure and build libccid is now meson.
I already explained why I now use meson instead of autoconf/automake in pcsc-lite now uses meson build tool.
Meson for libccid
A typical use case is:
If you need/want to disable or enable some libccid options then change the first command to use something like:
The available options are (file meson.options):
- extra_bundle_id
-
appended to the name of the bundle directory
- class
-
enable the CCIDCLASSDRIVER in
Info.plist
- composite-as-multislot
-
composite device are seen as multi-slots (disabled by default)
- embedded
-
for embedded systems [limit RAM and CPU resources by disabling features (log)] (disabled by default)
- os_log
-
use
os_log(3)
instead ofprintf()
for debug (Sierra 10.12 and up)] (disabled by default) - pcsclite
-
use pcsc-lite debug support
- serial
-
build the driver for the serial CCID readers (disabled by default)
- zlp
-
enable the Zero Length Packet patch for some Gemalto readers (disabled by default)
In the case of regression
If you need a special configuration that is not possible using meson it
is still possible to generate and run the configure
script and build
libccid as before:
You can also create a patch and submit it to https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/PCSC/ or https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC.
Conclusion
Meson is a nice tool.
I do not expect regression but since version 1.6.0 is the first release with meson support I may have missed some use cases.
