Source code

For build and install Lexbor library from source code, use CMake (open-source, cross-platform build system).

cmake . -DLEXBOR_BUILD_TESTS=ON -DLEXBOR_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DLEXBOR_BUILD_SEPARATELY=ON
make
make test

Please, see more information in documentation.

Single or separately

Single

• liblexbor — this is a single library includes all modules.

Separately

• liblexbor-{module name} — this is libraries each by modules.

You only need an HTML parser? Use liblexbor-html.

Separate modules may depend on each other. For example, dependencies for liblexbor-html: liblexbor-core, liblexbor-dom, liblexbor-tag, liblexbor-ns.

The liblexbor-html library already contains all the pointers to the required dependencies. Just include it in the assembly: gcc program.c -llexbor-html.
