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).
Build a contrib
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.
Notes for Windows/MSVC
On Windows with MSVC, the contribs are built using the independent pywinmake system, using rules in contrib/{contrib-name}/package.json.
