Build instructions
There are three ways to build tgt
:
- Using the
download-tdlib
feature of tdlib-rs you do not need to set any environment variable. Then you can compiletgt
usingcargo build --features download-tdlib
. - By default,
tgt
assumes that you have the tdlib built and theLOCAL_TDLIB_PATH
environment variable set to the path of thetdlib
directory. You can set the environment variable with the following command:export LOCAL_TDLIB_PATH="/path/to/tdlib"
. Then you can compiletgt
usingcargo build
orcargo build --feature default
. - You can use
pkg-config
to find the path of the library. In this case see the CONTRIBUTING.md file for more information. Then you can compiletgt
usingcargo build --features pkg-config
.
The CONTRIBUTING.md file contains information for building tgt
and the steps to configure the tdlib
in your local environment, starting from the compilation to the configuration of the environment variables.
