Pre-built Packages

LibJWT is available in most Linux distributions as well as through Homebrew for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Build Instructions

With GNU AutoTools:

$ autoreconf -if
...
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
...
$ make
...

With CMake:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
...
$ make
...

Common

If you have libcheck installed, both targets will compile the test suite which you can run using the check target.

Both build systems will auto detect OpenSSL and GnuTLS and use one or both. Each build system has a way to force-enable (error if not found) or force-disable either library.
