How to Build TagLib (https://taglib.org) to . a file? I want to use it to add to my QML project.

Minh Quoc

I use MacOs.
I want to build TagLib to .a file and then add to to my QML project and I get stuff.

Seems this option is not available anymore:
taglib-1.11.1/CMakeLists.txt:11

But if you will change:
taglib-1.11.1/taglib/CMakeLists.txt:345
to

add_library(tag STATIC ${tag_LIB_SRCS} ${tag_HDRS})

It might work for you. But keep in mind that you also need to take care about taglib dependencies

Don't have MacOs but successfully using quite recent taglib version on Linux in my Qt Quick Controls 2 app. Here is my .pro file (notice libz and libdl requirement). Maybe you can adjust it to MacOS. In my project dir I have subdir "taglib" with all headers and subdir "libs" (also in project dir) with libtag.a
