libzip uses cmake to build.

For running the tests, you need to have perl.

You'll need zlib (at least version 1.1.2). It comes with most operating systems.

For supporting bzip2-compressed zip archives, you need bzip2.

For AES (encryption) support, you need one of these cryptographic libraries, listed in order of preference:

  • Apple's CommonCrypto (available on macOS and iOS)
  • GnuTLS
  • mbed TLS
  • OpenSSL >= 1.0.
  • Microsoft Windows Cryptography Framework

If you don't want a library even if it is installed, you can pass -DENABLE_<LIBRARY>=OFF to cmake, where <LIBRARY> is one of COMMONCRYPTO, GNUTLS, MBEDTLS, or OPENSSL.

The basic usage is

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make test
make install

Some useful parameters you can pass to cmake with -Dparameter=value:

  • BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: set to ON or OFF to enable/disable building of shared libraries, defaults to ON
  • CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX: for setting the installation path
  • DOCUMENTATION_FORMAT: choose one of 'man', 'mdoc', and 'html' for the installed documentation (default: decided by cmake depending on available tools)

If you want to compile with custom CFLAGS, set them in the environment before running cmake:

CFLAGS=-DMY_CUSTOM_FLAG cmake ..

If you are compiling on a system with a small stack size, add -DZIP_ALLOCATE_BUFFER to CFLAGS.

You can get verbose build output with by passing VERBOSE=1 to make.
