It is intended for developers and packagers who want to + test out the new build system. + + - The old autoconf-based build has been replaced with CMake. Version + 3.16 or newer is required. For all the details, please read + :ref:`installing` and, if you package qpdf for a distribution, + :ref:`packaging`. + + - For the most part, other than being familiar with generally how to + build things with cmake, what you need to know to convert your + build over is described in :ref:`autoconf-to-cmake`. Here are a + few changes in behavior to be aware of: + + - Example sources are installed by default in the documentation + directory. + + - The configure options to enable image comparison and large file + tests have been replaced by environment variables. The old + options set environment variables behind the scenes. Before, to + skip image tests, you had to set + ``QPDF_SKIP_TEST_COMPARE_IMAGES=1``, which was done by default. + Now these are off by default, and you have to set + ``QPDF_TEST_COMPARE_IMAGES=1`` to enable them. + + - In the default configuration, the native crypto provider is only + selected when explicitly requested or when there are no other + options. See :ref:`crypto.build` for a detailed discussion. + + - Windows external libraries are detected by default if the + :file:`external-libraries` directory is found. Static libraries + for zlib, libjpeg, and openssl are provided as described in + :file:`README-windows.md`. They are only compatible with + non-debug builds. + + - A new directory called ``pkg-tests`` has been added which + contains short shell scripts that can be used to smoke test an + installed qpdf package. These are used by the debian + ``autopkgtest`` framework but can be used by others. See + :file:`pkg-test/README.md` for details. + 10.6.3: March 8, 2022 - Announcement of upcoming change: |
