inih-62

Introduction to inih

This package is a simple .INI file parser written in C.

Important

For the lib32 installation instructions, they require new Meson cross files from MLFS, as --libdir=/usr/lib32 has been moved to the cross files and no longer appear in the instructions. Install the new cross files so that 32-bit libraries don't get installed in /usr/lib.

Installation of inih

Install inih by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release .. &&
ninja

Now, as the root user: 

ninja install

lib32 Installation of inih

Install lib32-inih by running the following commands: 

rm -rf * &&
meson setup --prefix=/usr            \
            --buildtype=release      \
            --cross-file=lib32       \
            .. &&
ninja

Now, as the root user: 

DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR ninja install    &&
cp -vR DESTDIR/usr/lib32/* /usr/lib32 &&
rm -rf DESTDIR                        &&
ldconfig
