description	Build or work on Jami core dependencies (contrib system)

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.
