Irssi installation instructions
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To compile Irssi you need:
|
|
|
|
- meson-0.53 build system with ninja-1.8 or greater
|
|
- pkg-config (or compatible)
|
|
- glib-2.32 or greater
|
|
- openssl (for ssl support)
|
|
- perl-5.8 or greater (for building, and optionally Perl scripts)
|
|
- terminfo or ncurses (for text frontend)
|
|
|
|
For most people, this should work just fine:
|
|
|
|
meson Build
|
|
ninja -C Build
|
|
su
|
|
ninja -C Build install
|
|
|
|
meson options
|
|
|
|
These options can be given to meson.
|
|
|
|
For a complete list of options, run
|
|
meson configure
|
|
|
|
--prefix
|
|
|
|
Specifies the path where Irssi will be installed.
|
|
YES, you can install Irssi WITHOUT ROOT permissions
|
|
by using --prefix=/home/dir
|
|
|
|
-Dwith-proxy=yes
|
|
|
|
Build the Irssi proxy (see startup-HOWTO).
|
|
|
|
-Dwith-perl=[yes|no]
|
|
|
|
Enable Perl support
|
|
yes enable builtin (default)
|
|
no disable
|
|
|
|
-Dwith-perl-lib=[site|vendor|DIR]
|
|
|
|
Specify installation dir for Perl libraries
|
|
site install in dir for site-specific modules (default)
|
|
vendor install in dir for vendor-specific modules
|
|
DIR install in DIR
|
|
|
|
-Dwith-bot=yes
|
|
|
|
Build irssi-bot
|
|
|
|
-Dwithout-textui=yes
|
|
|
|
Build without text frontend
|
|
|
|
If anything is in non-standard path, you can just give the paths in
|
|
the -Dc_args and -Dc_link_args options variable, eg.:
|
|
|
|
meson Build -Dc_args='-I/opt/openssl/include' -Dc_link_args='-L/opt/openssl/lib'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Perl problems
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Perl support generates most of the problems. There's quite a many
|
|
things that can go wrong:
|
|
|
|
- If there's any weird crashing at startup, you might have older irssi's
|
|
perl libraries installed somewhere, and you should remove those.
|
|
- If meson complains that it doesn't find some perl stuff, you're
|
|
probably missing libperl.so or libperl.a. In debian, you'll need to do
|
|
apt-get install libperl-dev
|
|
|
|
You can verify that the perl module is loaded and working with "/LOAD"
|
|
command. It should print something like:
|
|
|
|
Module Type Submodules
|
|
...
|
|
perl dynamic fe core
|
|
|
|
|
|
System specific notes
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Android
|
|
|
|
When cross compiling Irssi for Android, you can specify the path of
|
|
the cross-perl in the cross file.
|
|
|
|
You may not have a cross-perl available. In that case, you will have
|
|
to manually supply the required Perl arguments in the cross file. See
|
|
the commented properties in the example cross file.
|
|
|
|
An example cross file can be found in the docs folder. To use it, you
|
|
would call:
|
|
|
|
meson Build --cross-file cross-android-aarch64.txt \
|
|
--prefix /data/data/com.termux/files/usr \
|
|
--libdir lib \
|
|
-Dfhs-prefix=/data/data/com.termux/files/usr \
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin
|
|
|
|
Getting perl scripting to work needs a few things:
|
|
|
|
- TODO
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apple MacOS / Darwin
|
|
|
|
At the time of writing, meson has an open issue with correctly linking
|
|
libraries on macos.
|
|
|
|
See docs/meson-macos-ar.txt for a workaround.
