cmake - http://www.cmake.org/download/
appropriate build tools for the platform
the xsltproc tool is required to build and install the tidy.1 man page on Unix-like platforms.

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 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 various 'native' build files. Running cmake --help should 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 for 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.

Build the tidy library and command line tool

macOS/Linux/Unix

    cd build/cmake
    cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/install]
    make
    [sudo] make install

macOS (multi-architecture)

    cd build/cmake
    cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64"
    make
    [sudo] make install

Windows

    cd build/cmake
    cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/for/install]
    cmake --build . --config Release
    cmake --build . --config Release --target INSTALL

Build options

By default cmake sets the install path to /usr/local/bin in Unix. If you wanted the binary in say /usr/bin instead, then in the second step, use -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr.

Also, in Unix if you want to build the release library without any debug assert in the code then add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release in the second step. This adds a -DNDEBUG macro to the compile switches. This is normally added in windows build for the Release config.

In Windows the default install is to C:\Program Files\tidy, or C:/Program Files (x86)/tidy, which is not very useful. After the build the tidy.exe is in the Release directory, and can be copied to any directory in your PATH environment variable for global use.

On macOS, you can build for both Intel and Apple Silicon by adding "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64;arm64" in the second step.

If you do not need the tidy library built as a 'shared' (DLL) library, then in the second step add the command -DBUILD_SHARED_LIB:BOOL=OFF. This option is ON by default. The static library is always built and linked with the command line tool for convenience in Windows, and so the binary can be run as part of the man page build without the shared library being installed in unix.

See the CMakeLists.txt file for other CMake options offered.

Build the tidy packages

cd build/cmake
cmake ../.. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
Unix/OS X: make package

Build PHP with the tidy-html5 library

Before PHP 7.1, due to API changes in the PHP source, buffio.h needs to be renamed to tidybuffio.h in the file ext/tidy/tidy.c in PHP's source.

That is - prior to configuring PHP run this in the PHP source directory:

sed -i 's/buffio.h/tidybuffio.h/' ext/tidy/*.c

And then continue with (just an example here, use your own PHP config options):

./configure --with-tidy=/usr/local
make
make test
make install

; eof
