The libquran architecture is meant to be simple and clear. *Audio Plugin System* The libquran only provides abstract APIs for handling the audio. The plugin management is needed to handle multiple formats of audio encoding. The audio data files are actualy read by audio plugins.
The advantage of having a plugin based system over a statically compiled system is that if a vendor wants to provide an audio package which can't be handled by the standard libquran, the vendor can just provide the audio package and the plugin. If the library is statically compiled, the vendor have to also provide their version of libquran which is discouraged. *Dependencies* The libquran only depends on libc and sqlite. During building it requires autotools, libtool and pkgconfig. *License* The libquran will be released with GNU LGPL version 2.1 only. Interested vendors can supply the plugins with whatever license they want. The original text of Quran is released with a license which permits everybody to copy and distribute, but not free to modify. All errors found shall be reported to the Arabeyes.org bug reporting tool. _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
