Recoll user manual

Building

For versions 1.38 and later (else check the manual inside the older source):

For source extracted from a tar file:

cd recoll-xxx
meson setup [options] build
ninja -C build
            

For a git clone, the procedure is almost the same, but the top of the source is the src subdirectory. Showing an out of tree build (which you could of course also use for the above tar extracion).

cd /some/where/
meson setup [options] /path/to/recoll/src recollbuild
ninja -C recollbuild
