Build Instructions

Requirements

• Boost (1.63 or newer)
• libiconv
• libpEpAdapter
• pEpEngine – see next section
• GoogleTest (GTest) – not to use library, but to run the unittests. :-) (for Windows you might follow these instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/how-to-use-google-test-for-cpp?view=vs-2019)

Solve the cyclic dependency to pEpEngine

To build p≡p MIME it's necessary that header files of p≡p engine are already installed. Because of the dependency loop of p≡p MIME needing these headers and p≡p engine depending on p≡p MIME you best do things in this sequence:

1. cd pEpEngine && make -C src install_headers
2. cd pEpMIME/src && make install
3. cd pEpEngine && make install

The build of p≡p MIME can be customized. Makefile variable PREFIX is the install directory. The environment variables CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS are being used. So a typical build on macOS i.e. looks like this:

CXXFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib make PREFIX=$HOME -j4 all install
