\page building_tidy Building Tidy
How to compile and install Tidy from source code.
\tableofcontents
\section Prerequisites
- \b git - <a href="http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git">git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git</a>
- \b cmake - <a href="http://www.cmake.org/download/">cmake.org/download/</a>
- Appropriate build tools for the platform
CMake comes in two forms - command line and gui. Some installations only install one or the other, but sometimes both. The build
commands below are only for the command line use.
Also the actual build tools vary for each platform. But that is one of the great features of cmake, it can generate
variuous 'native' build files. Running cmake without any parameters will list the generators
available on that platform. For sure one of the common ones is "Unix Makefiles", which needs autotools
make installed, but many other generators are supported.
In windows cmake offers various versions of MSVC. Again below only the command line use of MSVC is shown, but the
tidy solution (*.sln) file can be loaded into the MSVC IDE, and the building done in there.
\section get_source Get the source code
Tidys sourcecode can be found at <a href="https://github.com/htacg/tidy-html5">github.com/htacg/tidy-html5</a>. There are sometimes
several branches, but in general `master` is the most recently updated version.
\note Note that as “cutting edge,” it may have bugs or other
unstable behavior. If you prefer a stable, officially released version, be sure to have a look
at Releases on the github page.
In general you can use the <b>Download ZIP</b> button on the github page to download the most recent version of a branch. If you prefer
Git then you can clone the repository to a working machine with:
\code{.sh}
git clone git@github.com:htacg/tidy-html5.git
\endcode
\section compile Compile
<h4>Enter the `build/cmake` directory</h4>
\code{.sh}
# *nix
cd {your-tidy-html5-directory}/build/cmake
# windows
cd {your-tidy-html5-directory}\build\cmake
\endcode
<h4>Configure the build</h4>
\code{.sh}
# *nix
cmake ../../ [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/install]
# windows
cmake ..\..\
\endcode
By default cmake sets the install path to `/usr/local` in unix.
If you wanted the binary in say `/usr/bin` instead, then use `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr`
On windows the default install is to `C:\Program Files\tidy5`, or `C:/Program Files (x86)/tidy5`, which is not very useful. After
the build the `tidy[n].exe` is in the `Release\` directory, and can be copied to any directory in your `PATH` environment variable, for global use.
If you need the tidy library built as a 'shared' (DLL) library, then in add the command `-DBUILD_SHARED_LIB:BOOL=ON`.
This option is `OFF` by default, so the static library is built and linked with the command line tool for convenience.
<h4>Compile</h4>
\code{.sh}
# *nix
make
# windows
cmake --build . --config Release
\endcode
\section compileOnstall Install
Install the applicatio and library with
\code{.sh}
# *nix
[sudo] make install
# windows
cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL
\endcode
