Introduction to Libidn

Libidn is a package designed for internationalized string handling based on the Stringprep, Punycode, IDNA and TLD specifications defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names. This is useful for converting data from the system's native representation into UTF-8, transforming Unicode strings into ASCII strings, allowing applications to use certain ASCII name labels (beginning with a special prefix) to represent non-ASCII name labels, and converting entire domain names to and from the ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) form.

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-0.6.3/{api,java,specifications,tld} &&
install -v -m644 doc/components* \
                 doc/libidn.{pdf,ps,html} \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3 &&
install -v -m644 doc/reference/html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/api &&
install -v -m644 doc/specifications/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/specifications &&
install -v -m644 doc/tld/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/tld &&
cp -v -R doc/java/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/java

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

install -v -m644 doc/libidn.txt /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3

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-0.6.3/{api,java,specifications,tld} &&
install -v -m644 doc/components* \
                 doc/libidn.{pdf,ps,html} \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3 &&
install -v -m644 doc/reference/html/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/api &&
install -v -m644 doc/specifications/* \
    /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/specifications &&
install -v -m644 doc/tld/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/tld &&
cp -v -R doc/java/* /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3/java

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

install -v -m644 doc/libidn.txt /usr/share/doc/libidn-0.6.3
