Introduction to Libidn

GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names.

Project Homepage: http://josefsson.org/libidn/

Dependencies

Optional

Non-Multilib

Compile the package: 

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

If you have TeTeX installed and wish to create a text version of the documentation, issue the following commands: 

cd doc &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o libidn.txt libidn.texi &&
cd ..

Install the package 

make install &&
find doc -name "Makefile*" -exec rm {} \; &&
install -v -m755 -d \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/{api,java,specifications,tld} &&
install -v -m644 doc/components* \
                 doc/libidn.{pdf,ps,html} \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26 &&
install -v -m644 doc/reference/html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/api &&
install -v -m644 doc/specifications/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/specifications &&
install -v -m644 doc/tld/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/tld &&
cp -v -R doc/java/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/java

If you created the text documentation, install it using the following command: 

install -v -m644 doc/libidn.* /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

Install the package 

make install

N32

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 &&
make

Install the package 

make install

64Bit

Compile the package: 

CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 &&
make

If you have TeTeX installed and wish to create a text version of the documentation, issue the following commands: 

cd doc &&
makeinfo --plaintext -o libidn.txt libidn.texi &&
cd ..

Install the package 

make install &&
find doc -name "Makefile*" -exec rm {} \; &&
install -v -m755 -d \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/{api,java,specifications,tld} &&
install -v -m644 doc/components* \
                 doc/libidn.{pdf,ps,html} \

    /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/specifications &&
install -v -m644 doc/tld/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/tld &&
cp -v -R doc/java/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26/java

Installed Programs: idn
Installed Libraries: libidn.{so,a} and optionally, Java and C# modules
Installed Directories: /usr/share/doc/libidn-1.26

Short Descriptions

idn is a command line interface to the internationalized domain name library.
libidn.{so,a} contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters, and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL and XMPP are included as well as support for Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, as well as default tables for some TLDs are included.
