| description | Build or work on Jami core dependencies (contrib system) |
Jami-core (the daemon) uses the "contrib" system to manage its dependencies. The contrib system allows building required dependencies as needed (ie when not available in the system).
Contribs are built in contrib/build-{arch} and installed in contrib/{arch} using rules in contrib/{contrib-name}/rules.mak.
They are built automatically by CMake when configuring the project (when BUILD_CONTRIB is not disabled), but they can also be built manually by running make .{contrib-name} from the contrib build directory.
On Windows with MSVC, the contribs are built using the independent pywinmake system, using rules in contrib/{contrib-name}/package.json.
